"Can anything be done to change the system and get legislators who are dedicated to the public interest, represent their constituents and/or answer to their conscience?"

My suggestion might be a little.. errrrr ... ya know...

It has to do with an earlymorning call out.. a wall and some men with guns and a bloke with a bull horn yelling "Choose this day who you will serve"

Yep.. a bit over the top :) *shuts up*
