Morning, and I'd like to run an idea by y'all...i think the incomming Dem Congress should ask the American People what

[Volaris]

they want done.
I think the new Congress should send out a national issues survey. If you filled out a census, or if you have a soc sec number, you should be able to log into a Congressional website, and fill out a survey of what you want passed, and the Dem Congress should campaign on committing itself to passing into law the top 5 things on the list. Congress works for US, not a bunch of think tanks.

It's the only way a dem majority will KEEP a lot of the voters we catch this cycle, and it WILL demonstrate that we're here to serve THEM (unlike the Republicans who will bitch and cry and DEMAND their jobs back in 2 years).

Thoughts?

1. No

They should dominate the opposition and represent the people who voted for their platform.

5. Fair, but do you think there would be something on their list that some version of,

WOULDN'T or cannot fit inside our Party Platform right now? I can't think of one off the top of my head..

2. It's an all right idea. I also have a new Senate idea.

1. Have only 51 Senators. They campaign nation wide. Whole nation votes. Top 17 win every two years.
2. Senate can oust justices who have
a) accepted bribes under emolument clause.
b) lied under oath
c) met secretly to discuss upcoming cases
d) eliminate electoral college with 2/3 vote

3. Following the will of the people would be too much like a true democracy.

Special interest groups representing the will of the people with money wouldn't allow it.

[Volaris]

4. You think campaign finance reform wouldnt be on that list?

I think it probably would....

[sop]

6. Monied special interests wouldn't allow it.

7. They want Universal Healthcare.

[Ziggy Beans]

8. Living wage and single payer healthcare

They would never lose again if they passed those two things
