Maybe the Senate is in peril.
Maybe the House is in peril.
In this day and age with high technology and communications, do we really need full-time Congressinal representation in DC? All of the Senators and everyone in the House should return to their districts and home state and run their office from there. In the event a vote is required, they could do that via teleconference. Why spend the money for an outdated Congress? They need to catch up with the times. Think about seeing your rep in the grocery store and bugging them about a bill. Think we'd have cradle to grave tax-feeders? No way. There would be a mass exodus of retirements and both parties would implode. Lobbyists would cry in their Chablis over the loss of power. Think about it.
Okay, so who's with me on starting a movement?
Actually, I'm for increasing the size of the House to 1,000 members and shrink the districts. It would be easier to get turnover.
That is a GREAT idea, mabelkitty! I'm with ya!
Sign me up. I love it.
