| A Virtual Congress |
| "Congress could make a huge step towards bringing representation back to the people (and eliminate a lot of campaign financing problems) if it made it possible for most of the legislative process to be done via telecommuting. In other words, set up a virtual Congress so that each representative can generally stay at home to do their part of directing the nation's business to a bright, vibrant and prosperous future." (
