It's a shame that people can't see the difference between a politician and a representative--that alone shows how defunct the status quo is. Without a few thousand more representatives, we are edging on delusional when we call ourselves a democracy of any sort.

I am a big fan of this effort. Proportional representation along with efforts like No sheriff left behind. All acted on in unison will be the only way to restore a workable constitution. Smaller Goverment people recoil at the concept of more representatives... Vote them out they say. Politics would not be so devicive if the 49% majority were ... See Moreindeed protected from the 51% majority by a Federal Gov limited in its duties by the constitution. Most people would be hard pressed to find an area of life directly influenced.
