Want Congress to really be held accountable? BRING THEM HOME!

Given the continuing failure of our federal Government to really be working for “the people” I propose we find a new way to hold them accountable. I won’t speak much today about it, but simply unveil a project I and many others are starting to formulate. We believe the by having our House of Representatives members work from their home districts; we may be able to help them gain the courage to really work for us. We have given them a lot of power, but we, as citizens, have done a bad job, in the last 70 years, ensuring they use that power judiciously. The time has come to change that.

Let’s bring our Reps home. Set them up in nice cozy offices in a federal building, a state capital, a city hall, anywhere we can provide a secure connection to Washington DC, and have them work where we the people can watch them and help them make the right decisions. At least take them out of the bubble and ensure their constituents know where to find them and can, for less than the cost of all that airfare and time, find them sitting close to us working on our behalf.

There is a lot of information to give and I will in the coming days, but please comment and ask questions. I would like real dialog. Should we bring Congress home to roost and only send them to DC for say….. impeachment or declarations of war. They can do everything else electronically from their home districts.

We can take away a great deal of influence special interests and lobbying firms for companies have and we can balance that influence with real people at the doorstep to help our Congressmen and women remember who pays the bills and who is the electorate. Companies may pay for elections, but the people are still the only ones to vote. Check out Guv@Home on FB for some additional details.

A government accountable to the people will better serve them!
