Before you march for democracy, you have to understand what the word actually means.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy

Then figure out how to implement it;

We are not a democracy, by design;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States

So what do you hope to accomplish where the system was not designed to be a democracy in the first place?

$300,000 is a level that will have Brat loyal to those donors

You can't remove money from politics. You basically have to outlaw free speech. Make any law you want, how are you going to stop me from taking out an ad in a newspaper in support of Brat? And then Brat being loyal to me in return?

(Eric Cantor, hello)

Dave Brat won with $300,000 against Eric Cantor's $5.4 million.

Can you explain the difference between the "mob" voting for a law directly, and the "mob" voting for a representative and "mob chosen representative" voting for a law.

So the government passing laws in my name, taxing me, spending my taxes as it sees fit, declaring wars in my name, making me pay for those wars and the aftermath, drafting me in such wars, and me suffering the blowback of those wars without a single vote from me is defined as freedom?
