We must have monthly town hall meetings with our Washington leaders.
Our Congressional leaders need to be spending some time in their state and connecting with their constituents and keeping us better informed as to what is happening in Washington.

Im surprised this is not happening more often.

Our leaders should be meeting more with us as their constituents.

Most of them seem to have become so insulated (wealthy*) and disconnected from being in Washington that it seems like this main contributor to the corruption.

Citizens need to have a relationship with their Congressional leaders. It is very important for both our leaders as well as all of us as citizens.

We will all benefit tremendously from such communication. My God, its the way it should be, but of course Corporate/Fascist interests know that they must keep our Congressional leaders disconnected from us.

It may be tough in the beginning because there are alot of issues facing us, but nothing but good will come from it. Not having a relationship with our leaders has created the division and the opposition that has occured.

1. they don't see the need to communicate which is totally wrong
there are put there by us and they need to communicate monthly by newsletter to every constituent. At least hold advice centers where you can go to see them. It is a battle to get to them.

2. We have to make it happen. We have to demand what is necessary.
This is vital and it is NECESSARY to the survival of any realm of sanity for this country.
