This is why most Americans despise politics! And I have the solution but nobody wants to discuss it at all. Consider this:
Every American files taxes. We each do so under a unique identifier... our Social Security number. That system is available online. It is available on every cell phone. THe poorest of Americans have a phone. Everyone basically has a cell phone. With a minimum effort, The SS online system can be easily adpated to allow U.S. Citizens (only) to vote on any particular legislation. In fact, on major legislation it could be made as a requirement for us to weigh-in (power to the people)!
So, let's say this new voting system requires at least 60% of Americans to participate in order to be considered significant. This is not a binding vote. It is a real-time indicator to our representatives in Congress who do vote on our behalf... what we want... on the record. The bill is posted. We read it. We vote. they, in-turn, reflect our consent or discontent on the matter. THere can be no dead people, duplicates or illegals weighing-in. It is a solid measure of American's sentiment.
All current (out-dated) and small sample-size polls suggest America is above 90% for the Save America Act. Yet, it isn't passed. This mechanism could be the necessary, formal, authenticated message directly to our representatives on how they should vote. We read the bill and approved it or not.
This somewhat removes the corrupt politics from the congressional voting on bills in congress. We make our voices heard, unarguably heard. So loud it can not be ignored any longer. The system is already in place... just needs about a month worth of additional programming. Cheap! Potent. Compelling.
This also means that if people (like the left) want to defend their positions on things like the Save Act, they have to post their arguments. Why is the save act bad. We know it isn't because a handful or black people are too stupid to get an idea. American knows this is an absurd argument. They have to establish a real, justifiable argument as to why they want to go against American's now, weighed-in support of the bill. No politics. Just the facts. No media opinon... just the actual arguments, for or against. We will determine for ourselves.
But that isn't the current system. It is politically corrupted. Frankly, I am sick of this bullshit. How about you?
Any other ideas out there? We need to fix this and fast!

...my two cents.
We should test it by moving the establishment of House and senate rules to the bosses, not the servants.
Let the people decide the rules that the government must follow.
Actually, our voices are the boss!
Exact a mundo fren.
But I really think that the senate and house rules should be subject to voter approval.
That would make it impossible to secure the election.
Nah, it was created by men... all religious doctrine was created by men. No exceptions. Let that sink in for a minute.
They counted on the fact that no human being can think like a God. We don't.
How so? Please elaborate.
