2. I think such a campaign would be a winner-demonstrates their self-dealing and calls for them to
stand with the people they represent.

A big problem with office-holders is that there is little moral accountability and little expectation of moral behavior.
People like Billy Tauzin of Louisiana who misused his office to use our tax money to give guaranteed profits to a massively wasteful pharmacy industry and then left Congress to collect a two million per year paycheck from the same industry should be universally derided and shunned until he finds it pleasanter to emigrate with his family to Burma than stay in the USA.

Some behaviors have to be seen for what they are---selfishness and greed, wallowers in the 7 deadly sins; and there should be no acceptance among the people for selfishness and greediness in our representatives. If they don't want to do public service with sacrifice, we need to run them out of town on a rail.
