This is why Washington D.C.—all branches of federal government—should be decentralized. Members of Congress should remain in their states and districts and caucus, debate, vote and legislate via computer.
I agree 100%,absolutely. No more DC parties, no more arm twisters, no more lobbyists buying votes.
They should be located outside of their State Capitols, in glass offices fronting the busiest street in the city.
E-mails and letters are easy to disregard, but a hundred angry constituents staring at you through the window are hard to ignore. Instead of the DC party circuit, they can meet with constituents (their EMPLOYERS) in community centers and church basements. Maybe, just maybe, they will start responding to the people who elected them.
