Reports
1* Are American elections fair to
voters?
2* Members of Congress almost always
get re-elected. Is this because they do a good job representing their
constituents or is it because the election rules are rigged to benefit Members
of Congress?
3* Would a group of people selected at
random from the phone book do a better job addressing the nation’s problems
than the current Congress?
4* The Declaration of Independence says
that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed. Does
the federal government today have the consent of the governed?
5* Who does the average Congressman
listen to the most—the voters they represent or party leaders in Congress?
