We need to make elected representatives more accountable to citizens and less accountable to big business. What we need is a Constitutional Convention in order to give the House of Representatives the authority to call general elections in addition to regularly scheduled elections as well as to implement adequate public campaign financing. America's interests are compromised when elected officials can't randomly be called before the voters. Our interests are compromised when we don't pay for our own elections. These are fundamental flaws in our system and any attempt to right them will be thwarted by the Senate. Our Founders provided us an avenue for reform. We need to hold a Constitutional Convention.
