Do you think we need to get rid of the whole U.S. Congress & start over with more responsive representatives that hear the people?

Our Votes dont mean much anymore. Its all controlled by special interests. I doubt that will ever happen.

Simple, don't vote for the one with all the money for ads, vote for the underdog and the power brokers won't know what to do.

yes but it is an uphill battle from amending the constitution to getting approval from all houses or even a referrandum ! Keep thinking - it can only change with POWER OF THE PEOPLE.

That would be nice, but there is no way it could or will ever happen. Elections are controlled by power brokers and we simply don't have the ability to short circuit that power. The power of the individual voter has become so manipulated and weakened that we don't have the necessary enthusiam for that kind of political change. At least, it seems that way to me.
