Currently, our representative form of government seems to consist of electing professional politicians to serve in state legislatures and Congress where they then pass laws to benefit lobbyists and special interest groups in exchange for bribes, or what some people call campaign contributions.
At least us voters get to vote directly on ballot initiatives, which is a more pure form of representation than to send someone to Congress to represent hundreds of thousands or even millions of voters. Agreed, the ballot iniatiative process isn't perfect, but at least the voter gets to be directly involved in creating and passing legislation, and I like that.
