On the forced voting, I'm not sure how they get around that there. You're spot on about that.

I was going to say get rid of citizens united but I'm thinking we most have to get rid of all the things the supreme court has done for what the last 40 or so years.

Nope no money in politics, nada.

You are correct, some of those bills maybe go hand in hand, so do max 3 to 5 in a bill.

Not so sure about those senators getting a pass, some of them stay way passed their expedition date and not just Republicans. They get too set in their ways and game the system for themselves.

Oh yeah and senators and representative have the same insurance as us, no golden parachute.

Yes , right get rid of that electoral college. All of our votes should count equally, why do people in Wyoming have more of a say than someone in NY?
