One Solution to Problems With Congress

RECEIVED Thu., Nov. 19, 2009

Dear Editor,
    Congressional job approval rates have been around 25% to 30% for quite a while. I think I have a solution. It involves a couple of steps.
    1) Line up all of the members of Congress.
    2) Ask any of them who were lawyers, business executives, or insurance agents/executives to step forward. (This will be a large number.)
    3) Fire those who stepped forward.
    4) Elect new people who are more representative of our population and not so biased toward their previous interests.
    By the way, this will work well for members of both parties.
