If you are speaking about putting control in all 350 million citizens
hands (well, those over 18 and citizens of the united states) in some
form of vote--ABSOLUTELY!

If you are speaking about putting control in only those hands which
possess amateur tickets--ABSOLUTELY NOT!

A gov't agency, responsible to ALL citizens of the US is then the
correct means to implement a democratic republic. But then, you already
knew that from your HS and college civic classes ...

Letting the fox run the hen house is NOT American!
