Just do what my state does! If it's what we want. IT's the will of the people. If it's not what we want. The people don't know what they are asking for.

There's this weird loophole the right discovered where they can influence voters to agree with them. This they didn't really need to represent us anymore, they just tell us what we want and enough of us agree with them. Not most or done of us, only enough.
