If there was a community of 330 million sheep elected 435 wolves to be their leaders what do you think they would happen to the sheep?
The average family in America has a net worth of less than $60,000, but the men and women who they elect to Congress have an average net worth of over $1,000,000. Do you think the wolves can be trusted to represent the best interests of the sheep?
The average Congressmen spent approximately 1.6 million dollars to get elected to the House of Representatives. Most of the money spent was money donated to them by financial institutions, unions and Wall Street Corporations.
With an average of 710,000 constituents in the average Congressional District, the voice of the people is seldom heard. If the size of the Congressional Districts were the same size today that they were in the 1790's we would have nearly 6,400 Congressional Districts.
With smaller Districts limited to 50,000 the voice of the people would be heard loud and clear. It would cost as candidate as much to run for Congress as it would for him to run for his local City Council.Electing representative who are financial aristocrats can not adequately represent a community of peasants. Our Congress is a modern day version of the House of Lords.
To reduce the size of Congressional Districts we need to amend the Constitution. In 1788 a amendment was proposed that was ratified by 11 or the 15 states and failed to be ratified/ This amendment would limit to 50,000 the number of people in each Congressional District.
To be ratified there needs to be 3/4 of the states to ratify the proposed amendment. We already have 11 and only need the legislatures of 27 more states to vote in favor of the amendment to make it the 28 Amendment to the Constitution.
