Fair representation from Senators and Representatives – who actually work for the whole country<\/p>\n
Could the United States run more fairly if all Senators and Representatives, and appointees were not allowed to benefit their own state? Where everyone worked for the country as a whole? If states were assigned at random and everyone did their best, the good ones could help weak states, and bad ones in good states would show up. It is not a complete concept, but it seems worth investigating.<\/p>\n
Also if there were Representatives that anyone could register on the Internet to follow and have as their Representative, it would not matter if one lived in a red or blue state and never has a real choice of who represents them. If I had to ask a question about the government, a Representative who actually did that as a job and did not party all the time would be preferable.<\/p>\n
