No more using “gridlock” as a smokescreen for inaction and excuse for lack of accountability.

If every senator goes on record with an up/down vote for every bill, they will be held accountable for the benefits, or misery, they cause.

That’s how things work in healthy democracies- voters hold their representatives accountable for their actions.
