the people must be represented...but in the 1700's the fastest a message could travel was by horse. So back then it was only reasonable for the people of a district to elect 1 individual who could frequent washington and represent their concerns and values assuming that he/she shares them. But now days we have the internet and we have .gov's. it is assumed that almost everyone has access to computers and the internet in the United States. So then, why can't we the people represent ourselves??? here my plan: have some sort of website like "www.vote.gov" where each citizen has an account and can vote on issues that congress would otherwise be voting on...this way they could double check their account to make sure that what they voted for actually registered correctly...this would make electronic voting fraud-free. If there was an error in the vote, a citizen could simply make a claim and correct the problem. This system also ensures that measures are passed because they are truly popular

Decisions on tough issues shouldn't be a popularity contest.
