Agree completely. Another issue that doesn't get a lot of mention is the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970. Before this congress was closed door and legislator's votes were private, not recorded. Each individual could vote according to conscience regardless of party or lobbyist pressure. This legislation opened the floor to the public and made individuals in the congress more accountable to the lobbyists, not to the public. http://www.congressionalresearch.org/Jumbotrons.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative_Reorganization_Act_of_1970
