That one simple statement referring to the ability for everyone to vote on legislation is packed with enormous meaning! Wow - that actually leads one to imagine a day when there is no longer a need for representatives or regional politicians. What a revolutionary idea!

Here is a revolutionary idea based on an interesting point about government history I learned a while ago.... For the first hundred + years, the numbers of representatives changed with each census, ensuring that they could reasonably and rationally represent their constituents. Then they ran into trouble with the 1900 or 1910 census... The reason we have 435 representatives is that they could not put any more desks in the building!! Maybe it is time to use technology to go back to the founding fathers' ideas about how many people could be reasonably and rationally represented. The House could literally be conducted from the houses' of 3,000 or more representatives!

I would like to see a lobby group or company try to influence a majority of the House if they are scattered across the country.
