Why is this important?
Our current Congress is dysfunctional in serving its constituents - America's voters. The source of this dysfunction is "Power which tends to corrupt and absolute power which corrupts absolutely". Power grows with longevity in Congress, where some members are more concerned with self interests, as opposed to the interests of voters who put them there. A change in course is needed to elect Senators and Representatives that respond to voters' needs, not those of special interests and big money.
