Give it some more thought. By having a third level, your representative is only shared with another few hundred people, and you talk to him/her semi-regularly.

Give it some more thought. By having a third level, your representative is only shared with another few hundred people, and you talk to him/her semi-regularly. And the 2nd level rep talks to that person regularly. And your concerns and values get heard and acted on.
Instead, in the current system, whoever has enough income or clout gets to talk to the Congress reps, and everyone else doesn't matter that much, because their vote can be bought with some well targeted political ads exposing the opponent as [insert unacceptable description here].
