@UncapTheHouse you guys should post on instagram! Gotta get more people to be aware that the house hasn't grown since the 20's.
@AmoneyResists We need to expand the house (it hasnt expanded since the 1920s despite it having to do that with population growth) and add a few states to add senators too to stop minority rule. @UncapTheHouse
@RepAdamSchiff Then it becomes crystal clear..... the Supreme court must be expanded. And while we are at it, expand the size of the House of Representatives too @UncapTheHouse
@SAVoltolin @TheDillononX If the Green party had a clue, it would make a deal with the Libertarians to pressure Democrats to support ranked choice voting, ending gerrymandering, uncapping the House (@UncapTheHouse), and multi-member districts.
@SenSanders Uncap the house, we will get better representation and those numbers will rise
Expand the court AND the House!
@craig_munch @UROCKlive1 @imillhiser And repeal the reapportionment act of 1929.
Is there any scholarly work examining how early 1960s reapportionment bills in the US affected the ability of the civil rights movement to achieve some of its aims? Is that a plausible supposition?
@NMercad Counting prisoners as residents of the districts where they're incarcerated for apportionment purposes while also disenfranchising them is one of the more insidious voter suppression tactics that is not often talked about.
@WeaverD1961 @KregerPatricia The more the population grows while the House of Representatives stays stuck in the year 1911, the more & more right you are. Until 1911, the House of Representatives expanded regularly to keep up with population growth! Permanent Apportionment breaks the electoral college!
Representation is communication.
@OurShallowState @Delavegalaw Also expand the size of the House by defing a seat by population so that a state doesn't lose seats unlees it loses population.That was the intent of the founders and the house grew i ns ize til 1920.
@RCdeWinter It would require an amendment to the constitution which is unlikely to get through. A different way to achieve an outcome that would be close would be a repeal of the permanent apportionment act of 1929 which fixed the number of House seats at 435, only needs a simple majority.
@leadandapple @b_crane1 @teixido_heather @EileenMarieSar1 You want that changed? Then push for it. That is what the House is designed for. I didn't say it is doing a perfect job. The last time they added Reps was in 1913 (not counting temporary ones for Alaska and Hawaii when they joined).
The Right Wing reason for not fixing congressional apportionment is something stupid like “too many governments” The Left Wing reason is that it would fix the government / fake Left vs Right uniparty The moderate reason is total apathy / being morons
@teixido_heather @EileenMarieSar1 Uncap the House and force states to reward electors based on percentage of vote. All or none is stupid and so is capping the House at 435
Have any laws been thrown out by SCOTUS as being government overreach due to 9th amendment? Is this ammendment the most important?
@BuenoForMiami The seeds for killing “For the people….” Were planted with the Reapportionment Act of 1929. Uncap the house, and it will get better.
"Nothing will get you laid faster than laser focus on ending the fed and increasing representation in the House of Representatives" - Every guy who ever got laid
Fellas, do you want to get laid? Back an amendment to restore Congressional Apportionment at 18th century levels. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressi…

Jefferson argued that free and full communication between the representative and the constituents is a constitutional right. However, our representatives often only communicate with their donors or through their parties — infringing on everyday citizens' right to representation.…
Expand the court AND the House!

When relationships fail, it’s often because of a failure to communicate. If we are to save our Republic we must focus on creating better communication between representatives and voters.
"Most communication between representatives and the people is done for the purposes of election, that is, getting elected or remaining in power. Candidates communicate using the negative traits of both [active and passive communicators]." @Jmayhugh28 thevitalcenter.com/blog/communica…
I was blessed to have two articles published today. The fact that they both discuss the importance of communication is no coincidence.
@snikles313 @ghostofJmadison No, the 10th addresses the states, the 9th addresses the rights of the people.
@OurShallowState @Delavegalaw Also expand the size of the House by defing a seat by population so that a state doesn't lose seats unlees it loses population.That was the intent of the founders and the house grew i ns ize til 1920.
@Bearddapick @nydegger_ben @teixido_heather @b_crane1 @EileenMarieSar1 He didn't "find a loophole", sport. He denied Obama the justice he was entitled to. The job of the Senate is to advise & consent. He didn’t.
@Bearddapick @leadandapple @teixido_heather @b_crane1 @EileenMarieSar1 Actually that’s not correct. Everyone abided until Mitch. What your missing is I’m part if the liberal faction they wants to expand the courts. Expand the house so house districts better represent their citizens by having fewer per district.
