  • X-topic: Choice 2

In Choice 2, we seems to moving toward "the lost voice of the average citizen."

I challenge the nation to become a collective of above average citizens. How many that have lost their civic voice have done so through their own apathy? The number of "average citizens" who do not know how many members of Congress are provided by their homestates is staggering.

I find that the more informed persons are, the more they are likely to be passionate and active in the decisions that effect their daily lives. More "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore" citizens would combat lobbyists formidably and naturally. How can we bring this solution into the foreground?
