While I completely disagree with the way our Government operates. That site right there is a tea party site.
And while I agree hitting re-set on congress would do it some good, smaller government is not better government.

I think if congress and the senate were to be replaced, something like jury duty should be put in its place. It is your civil duty (granted you can pass the necessary test/interview to show you are up to the task.) And then the country would truly be run by the people.

And as for Presidential Elections, each candidate should get equal amounts of money. No corporation or financial involvement in the process.

I wouldn't be down with replacing the vote with a lottery.
Arguably congress is the most representative of all branches since it is specific to a district of voters.
My vote is to get the influence of money out of the equation and hopefully stop the misinformation that people are fed by the media.
