Random Selection Total Government Reform Benjamin Strickenland

A bold new form of government has come to the United States. In response to an outcry from the people over years of corruption and stagnation, a new Constitutional amendment requires all new members of Congress to be chosen at random from the general population. Intrigue swirls as the remaining elected senators desperately seek to maintain their positions, leaving newcomers such as Jim, a garbageman with a secret, Kendall, a wounded health care reformer, Myrna, a housewife, and the pop star Cricket wondering how they can keep the government functioning. Will this bold new experiment lead to a rebirth of the nation or to a sudden collapse?
