The State Legislatures Can Reform Congress — Make Congress Fire Themselves
Montana State Legislatures
Guest post by former Republican member of Montana House of Representatives Rick Maedje
Congress is increasingly malfunctioning as far too many lobbying interests, foreign actors and ideologues force the institution to cater to elites over the needs of the people. Voters overwhelmingly agree Congress is broken. The question becomes what can be done about it?
Both Democrat and Republican state legislators have noticed Congress’s institutional decline, and about three years ago, a bi-partisan group began quietly working together on possible solutions to this Federal problem. After countless meetings, it appears something remarkable is about to happen. There is a tenable, bi-partisan way to fix Washington DC.
We forget who owns our Constitution.
