Fixing Congress

As of today, our Congress has a 17% approval rating. This is the lowest since records were kept on this (1974).
Obviously, Congress is no longer representing the people of the United States. Congress is divided between two parties that refuse to listen to each other and do what's right for the country rather than themselves.
This is understandable (not moral) in the fact that one can become very wealthy as a Congress member. However, the discussion about Congressional corruption is another subject.

Here are a few suggestions to make our Representatives and Senators more responsible to us:
(1) Since they spend the majority of their time in fund raising for re-election, contributions should be only from individual living persons and limited to no more than $100,000 per person. This would limit their campaign "blitzes" of misinformation.
(2) Congress shall meet for no more than 8 months of the year. The rest of the time they required to go among the people of their district(s) to know what the problems are and to come up with solutions when Congress meets.
(3) After every vote, they must go before the people in their district(s) to justify their vote and position. This would help keep them from voting for things they haven't even discussed and expose them to their voters.
(4) Cut back their salaries to 70% of what they're paid now and limit their time to no more than 200 hours per year with lobbyists.
(5) Limit their time in office to no more than two terms. This would minimize career politicians, thus allowing new ideas to be brought forth in future Congresses.
(6) Most of all, any member of Congress, their family or friends that is proven to have profited in any way, be prosecuted, serve a jail term, pay a large fine and be banned from any form of politics for life.

These six suggestions won't completely solve the problem that we have with Congress, but it's a good start in getting Congress to do what's best for our country rather than what's best for them.
If you have any additional suggestions, I'd like to hear from you.
