Brian Lamb, right, president and chief executive officer of C-Span, gets the award for most under appreciated idea at the 2006 cable industry show.
On a panel of media luminaries discussing television interactivity, he had the following suggestion for monitoring elected officials: “Push a button and know instantly where their money is coming from.” Why? “You’re not going to see any real reforms in lobbying rules.”

What a great idea, but like the article says nothing is going to change. I would like to propose an idea of voting cards so when you cast your vote, you get a card saying who you voted for.As well as police camereas so anytime you could log on and see what your police officcers are doing in your county.
