I think this idea is insidious. With our political climate becoming increasingly hostle, isolating our legislators to their own constituents will only serve to slow the debate by further retarding their interpersonal skills with opposing parties. I think it is better to encourage the public to engage their congressmen- write letters, make phone calls, get petitions or other campaign means. This idea will only make us all more lazy!
