The wonderful thing about this is that it effectively eliminates the legalized bribery that happens with lobbying. There are 15 lobbyists per congressperson just for the finance industry, each sitting on top of who knows how much money.

Also, it allows for "voice on demand." If 95% of legislation is unimportant to the average person, it can safely be entrusted to the representative. The 5% that is important gets a direct voice.

It seems vastly more democratic.
