It would help cut down on Lobbyist influence corruption that's for sure. It's sad. If a person from a Congressman's district calls the office the most he will get will be a low level Intern likely some donors kid. Write a letter and you'll get a machine generated generic reply worded as if your letter was actually read. If others {donors, etc} call in they get directly connected or a high level aide and their voice has influence.

Our Congress and the GOP has sold itself like cheap Ho's addicted to drugs to the highest bidders in return for power or monetary gains. They are addicted to power and will sell anything to obtain/retain it seems like except represent and abide in the wishes of We The People.

In case this was ever in doubt this bill proves beyond all question that the elites, not the people run America. The only difference between the D and R leadership is the letter after their name, and both have a small “e” representing establishment.

Yes indeed.
And the ‘real’ shame of it is they (the shi(oops)..sitters) get to rewrite the rules and vote on them before we know they are meeting.
Like that farce about the pay raises..

AND no more CLOSED VOTES..make each one of them ‘own up’ to what they are ‘doing’ to us.

Bad enough they will manipulate the votes to coincide who is up for what (Senate especially), ‘allowing’ one in a questionable district to vote with the opposition IF IT FITS THEIR NEEDS.

Of course algores global warming will wipe us out or hell will definitely freeze over (kind of go hand in hand) before the people that make our rules let us know WTF they are up to...

Another poster hit it on the head...”WE” collectively, sat on our ass and let this crap happen. Oh we may have raised a ruckus now and then but WE got sucked in by the frog in the boiling water trick......

The old “Do me a favor and hand me that gun. Thanks” Then the SOB shoots you........
