Soemtimes things get voted on that the people don't even know about, much have a say in what happens to the bill. How are we supposed to write our representatives and senators about legislation that is presented and voted upon in a single day? Politicians are a different breed of people in general, so they can't possible know the desires of all the people.

But if the people don't even know about an issue, how can they have an informed opinion about the bill? The actions of congress are online, and you can keep up with them, and email your opinion to your representative at any time of day.
Who would propose laws in your scheme, without representatives? All 298,444,215 of us? That could lead to a lot of votes.
Do I think our countries laws should be decided as snap-decisions by inattentive members of the public - like American idol? NO

This may get easier as we further develop electronics, but for now, there is no reason to have a nationwide vote for everything. We vote for our leaders and prove we have a trust in them to vote the way the majority would like them to vote.

No, too many voters, too many idiots. Must have representative as buffer to prevent madness when the insane take over the asylum. OR else have some IQ test for voters.

This is what happens when the overmonied get the power. We have no shortage of lawyers in our government and as we all know.... ALL LAWYERS ARE PROFESSIONAL LIARS.
Keeping this in mind, it's no wonder our country is in such a mess.

.... someone down the line... probably about 100 years from now... is really going to screw something up in government that everyone hates... then your question will come to fruition...
