By what internet people call "disintermediation" or "cutting out the
middlemen". It is "our" represenatatives representing money not people who
give away our property to the rich. If we let the people decide Federal
policy directly we will keep our airwaves, forests, oceans, and native
friends who stand in the way of greed -like the U'wa of Columbia.

For the most ambitious and best-thought-out proposal for direct democracy,
please see the site I've made for US Senator Mike Gravel and his group
Philadelphia II's Direct Democracy Initiative: http://vote.org
