I live in your district, Congressman (New Port Richey). Why do I get so much stuff sent to me from Bilirakis and I haven't even heard of your name before?

Do you think longer terms and term limits (say, one term) would fix the do-nothingness of Congress? It seems that members of Congress only act for reeection purposes, so I think if reelection was removed from the equation we would not see all the lobbyists threatening primary battles.

Also, in the day and age of communications that we live, do you think representative even have to travel to Washington to get stuff done? I don't see why representative don't just stay in their districts full time and use the electronic communications available to us to conduct their business. Why do I propose this? I think if we can get all the representatives back into their home districts then it will be a lot harder for lobbyists to control them.
