Please add this link. This is to a wonderful history book that addresses proper representation at all levels; local, county, state and federal governments. The history presented clearly shows how the original system worked and how we've lost some of the fundamental principles which are essential to make any republic work.

Okay everybody. This is it. Congressional approval is at 5%. Now is possibly the best time to explain to people the reason why congress is horrible and provide a solution that may possibly keep our country going for another century or two. Not to be melodramatic or anything.
