Democracy in Action

If we're not going to have a type of democratic system where politicians actually represent their constituents and still have realistic differences with their politician brothers and sisters AND compromise and work out real solutions to real problems, then we need to go to an alternative. The alignment of special populist interests against the wealthy interests that currently roam the halls of congress and state houses is necessary. Call these populist interests unions, lobbies, or any other name that represents their goals.
