Hey! An e-Congress would not be subjected arm twisting or finger poking by other Politicians or the Admin.

The only arm twisting or finger poking would be done by "We The People"!

How to Increase Congressional Accountability:

1) Move election day to April 15th
2) Become like Texas, have a part time congress
3) Term limits for all
4) Bar lawyers from office because of conflict of interest
5) Prohibit former congressional leaders from lobbyist jobs

I've been talking to friends and neighbors about this idea for the last year. I had no idea there was an organized group pushing the same thing! Oh yeah, I am so there.

Accountability to citizens, savings of millions or billions of dollars, less corruption by lobbyist, and ofcourse less backroom deals/arm twisting. What could be wrong with this idea?

I’ve been saying this for years. Keep them home so we can keep an eye on them and sit in on their communications just about any time we feel like it.

The politicians WANT to be in DC. They LIKE going to the DC parties. They LIKE being wined and dined by lobbyists with very cute “assistants”.
