If your like the 76.2% of Americans who disapprove of Congress, you're probably a little frustrated at the partisan bickering that's prevented the 112th Congress from getting much of anything done. What's more, they are now on a 5 week vacation, giving you even more reason to join the discussion.

2. Because you're tired of complaining.

We've tweeted, Facebooked, texted, even screamed our complaints about Congress and the current state of Washington, but it seems as if no one is listening. Let's move beyond these complaints and come together as a community to discuss real policy options.

4. Because you're already on Twitter.

5. Because it will be fun.
