By David Grant
Two legislators from the nation’s first randomly-selected Congress embark upon a nationwide barnstorm to advocate for wildly different agendas.
SYNOPSIS:
What happens when Citizen John and Citizen Jane are randomly selected … not for short term jury duty but … for a three-year stint in Congress? One is angry, black, male, privileged and diseased. The other is naïve, white, poor, female and lively. Through improbable circumstance this odd couple embarks upon a cross-country trip to advocate for income redistribution (her) and consumer-driven eugenics (him!). Together they face the machinations of coup plotters who inadvertently validate this new democracy’s underlying principal: “Diversity trumps ability”.

LOVE IT!!!!!!
Diversity, ability, or a third choice: "Track record of distinguished public service trumps diversity or ability"? I envision the peoples' representatives in a more spiritually evolved system as having earned their way to any seat of power/legislative responsibility/government oversight by proving themselves not only of sufficient experience, but above all, character-worthy. My utopia would include mandatory universal suffrage with extra votes earned by the most distinguished public servants. I'd like to read one of your scripts if you wouldn't mind making a recommendation.
