Bring Our Representatives Home
Our democracry is based upon the idea of local representatives working for local causes, but isolating our representatives in DC defeats the whole purpose at great expense. My employer doesn't pay for my home so we shouldn't pay for our congressional representatives second home. Our representatives should work from their own home in the area that they represent and telecommute to work and thereby reduce costs and escape the corrupting influence of the isolation of DC
Why is this important?
I'm tired of paying huge amounts of money for our congressional representatives to maintain a second home in DC when I can barely afford to pay for my one. Not to mention the exspense of them flying home frequently. Let's bring our congress into the 21st century by having work from "home" and telecommuting to work. Lobbyists are the only ones who really benefit from having our representatives in one spot.
