You mean a voice for the public where it rarely, if ever, has one? Yes, why would people be in favor of that?

Rare? That's not an accurate depiction of the status quo in the least. AARP is one of the more influential groups in DC not because it gives away a lot of money but because of the voting block it represents. If you did an analysis of who you are as a voter then reviewed groups in DC representing your interests, I bet you could get 2 meetings on the Hill before the end of the year.
