How can we, the voters take back control of our own
representatives? It won’t be
easy but here are a few suggestions:
Demand
that your candidates have debates over the issues.
Congressional districts are large enough that you should have at
least a dozen debates in the three months leading up to the election.
Refuse to let the elections be determined by slick sound bites and 30
second television spots. Our
representative’s knowledge needs to be tested by the voters.
