The House of Representatives is a social network. It is suppose to represent the people to the government at a rate of 1 to 30000. That is ~11000 members. We can easily do this with the current social networking tool sets we have built.
This will produce a natural and immediate need for jobs. Each member would have 2 offices. A powerful green SD RAID cluster is placed in every representative's district office will require 10 people to operate. A second larger cluster in the office in Washington D.C. will require many people to run, maintain content, update and secure the system.
This will require many programmers, engineers, and developers to deploy. It will require a minimum of 40 processors per office. Citizens would have access to their Representative through their mobile devices or computers.
The representatives would have a second social networking system that is for the legislative process.
Replacement of the system would be on a 3-5 year basis. This would keep the factories operating and constantly incorporate new technologies. All the systems must be built in the United States. This will provide many more high tech jobs.
This system would allow a better distribution of power and through representation a correct solution to the requirements of the Constitution.

You are correct. On the practical side, a Representative can reasonably represent 300,000 with today's technology. My Congressman has 4 offices in the District with at least 2 staffers each. If you multiply 435 by 8 you get 3,480. This is still low in reality.
The Constitution is followed only when convenient. The NAFTA vote in 1993 was 61-38 (Wiki). The Constitution requires 2/3 of the Senators present (2/3x99=66). The treaty was illegally implemented 1 January 1994.
With todays technology, a representative can easily represent 30,000 citizens. The problems is that congress does not use today's technology. They are using 1960's tech.
It is every citizens responsibility to participate in a representative government.
