We have more transparency than we've ever had. Transparency isn't the magic bullet. Many people are aware of the problem. We know who they special interests are and how much they contribute to each representative.

What's the plan on censuring representatives that don't represent us? This information isn't helping us change our behavior.

The problem is our representatives have developed a sixth sense that is fine tuned to be aware how their vote affects their donors. Special interests are outspending and out-strategizing us. They are organized and disciplined and we are divided and hopelessly emotional. They have full-time policy wonks that understand the issues, and most of us don't even understand the premises behind the issues.

Even with full transparency, most of us drown in the amount of information we have to process. Something has to come after transparency and most of us are clueless as to what we really need to do.
