This is something I've been saying for a long time. The arguments that "people won't study issues" and "people won't vote" are outweighed by the fact that these are already true about those currently occupying the House.As Pelosi is now pushing remote voting it has become apparent that citizens no longer need someone to represent them. We can just as easily "remote vote" for ourselves. I can just as easily cast my own vote instead of hoping my representative votes my way instead of my neighbors way.
All budgets at the very least need to be up for public approval. As do any commitment of military assets lasting longer than 30 days.
Welfare recipients should be prohibited from voting on budgetary issues as they have proven to be fiscally irresponsible.
We could use a couple small permanent groups to keep things organized and votes scheduled.
I know a lot of you will likely lol but we have the technology & ability to truly give the power back to the people.
Direct vote to replace representatives. Keep the Senate so that things don't go too far too fast. We could at least try it for s few years; it couldn't be worse than what we have now.
