Role of Congress Distorted

The role of Congress has been much distorted.

Congress was designed by the Constitution to have congressman act as representatives for their constituents. Thus the nature of the republic we live in.

Instead, congress looks out for
1. Personal interest
2. Power
3. Party interest

If every democrat voted for it, and every republican voted against it; does that line out with what was wanted by their districts? Sounds like party interest to me.

My answer(s)
1. Force congress to poll their constituents
2. Eliminate political parties
3. Term limits to reduce personal interest in power

My two cents
