Good idea moving to a legislature that's a job for the ones elected, but if you really want to make sure they're Bought and Paid for By the People, you can' stop there.
ALEC needs to be designated a LOBBY, which is what it is, and subject to the laws governing lobbyists.
Tax structure needs to be reworked so that the corporations that have been getting a free ride pay their own fare. And for those who say they'll just go somewhere else? Who is home to Apple, Google, and the financial sector known as Wall Street? California and New York. With the highest corporate taxes in the country.
Put some teeth in the campaign finance laws, and ENFORCE THEM.
