We need a revolution. Say get rid of the senate, in this day and age

It isn't like a mule has to go from California to DC in 4 weeks like 250
years ago.

We need democracy to go right to the people, none of this corruption for
3 years and repent just before an election crap.

Yeah, mob rule, that's the ticket. Our forefathers founded a Republic,
and IMO correctly so. There's an easier way to rid ourselves of
corruption, vote the bums out. I'd also suggest campaign finance
reform. If we eliminate the incestuous relationship between campaign
finance and corporate welfare, we can demand that our politicians do our
work, not spend their time looking for $$ to get them reelected.

Each entity registered with the IRS may make a maximum donation of $2500
per year to a political organization that is registered with the IRS.
All donations are funneled through the IRS. No bundling of checks at
work and passing them from the big boss to the Congressman or Senator.
Even the influence field.
