Our current government organization is predicated on XVIII-century information speed. We need to make referendum the corner stone of modern democracy at the local level, but also above.

We need to repeal the 17th amendment and get back to letting our reps choose the senate.

We don’t need individuals making new laws on popular whims otherwise we will end up with bad law made in the heat of emotional turmoil.
