RON PAUL Rep. Paul was the Libertarian Party nominee in 1988. His libertarian views have conflicted with his pro-life stance on many occasions. From 2005 - 2006, Paul had just a 56 percent pro-life voting record as he voted four times against a federal law protecting teenagers from being taken to other states for secret abortions in violation of the parental notification or consent laws of their home state. In previous years, Mr. Paul had a 73 percent, 81 percent, and 79 percent voting record going back to 1999, according to the National Right to Life Committee. He doesn’t think federal law should cover abortion issues. He opposes using taxpayer funding for both embryonic and non-embryonic stem cell research. (LIFENEWS.com)

It would be possible for Congressfolks to echo an actual number of loyal Followers. Voters that don’t like a Stand, taken by their “Rep” could switch to supporting any specific other Congressperson.
WEIGHTED Congressional votes.
“on This Issue, I represent X number of voters from My District and Y number of voters from Other Districts”.
Congressfolk with larger Y than X numbers would get Major PRESS!
