Thank you for the clarification, I think I understand your position, so let me attempt to restate it and add to my previous response. You are saying that because congress isn't properly accountable for their current actions, and that we should have a more direct democracy, with the ability to challenge proposed legislation by referendum as one potential vehicle for that? I think I could potentially get behind that, but I would want to hear more about proposition for nation wide referendum systems, especially since some states already have such a thing, but not all, to implement it nation-wide would require a constitutional amendment. One alternative idea I would propose is an increase in the amount of representatives. Give them smaller districts and they would be more accountable and less able to use the two party system as a manipulatory vehicle. Issues abound back at the hill for such a thing, but I think it might be a good start. Gerrymandering has to be controlled and eliminated as well. Campaign finance reform is a must as well. Overall I think I understand a bit better, I would just urge caution that in trying to fix broken parts of the system that we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater so to speak. As long as propositions conform with the constitution, I'm ok with it. I will admit though, with the corruption as pervasive as it is now, a constitutional convention scares the hell out of me, as it could too easily be hijacked into something horrible.
