Daniel Rosen is running for Congress in Nevada with the following pledge:

As your Representative in Congress, I will vote only as you, the citizens in my district, direct me to vote through your participation on this website, or by secure telephone connection to my office in Washington: no ifs, ands, or buts.

Technological issues aside (and that’s quite a bit to put aside), this is a nutty idea. The real problem is our current system of super-incumbency (which could be alleviated with publicly-funded elections or term limits), not representative government. (via lvgleaner)
