Here's my plan.

I say we fire the entire legislature and all their aides. We fire the President and all his aides too. We televise both sides of every issue and vote by telephone to decide all issues. For those without televisions or telephones (very few btw), we would have viewing sites equipped with telephones for voting. Some issues might be regional and only those in the region would vote. In all cases, the majority would rule.

WE would hire a manager to direct the programs we approve and he would hire whoever he needs to help him within a budget voted on and set by us.

When our government was established we needed a representative form of government due to difficult travel and long distances to be traveled by horseback or on foot. But with electronic media and our extensive communications system though, we can now do it ourselves.

We would have to audit the voting process occasionally, but with the money we would save on paying the legislature and President, we could set up and maintain the system. We could cut taxation in half in 2 years and cut it more each year. And best of all, we would all have a say in what our country's future.
