78. That is the

way I envisioned it. I saw someone say that there is no reason these people could not be the reps for their districts or states and do it from their states or districts. There would be less insulation and more accountability. Votes can be done on the internet. Meetings can be done via internet. And if they were not signed in, it would show on the TV screen so their constituents would know. And the questions asked by their constituents would indicate if they were watching the meeting and contributing.

Lobbyist would have to hustle their dead butts off to get things done. Actually I would ban lobbyists. They not only give lots of money for their causes, but they seem to be the ones who write the bills. I wonder how long has it been since an elected official actually wrote a piece of legislation. And there is no way they can read the 500 pages of a single bill. For instance - I could write a health bill in one three word sentence. "Medicare for all". Easy sneezey. Campaign contributions - "$2000 limit per person and per business or oranization". And the government would have a TV station or two that campaign speeches are done there with only a limited time to talk.
