My belated Xmas gift: How to fix Congress

[jmowreader]

Statewide elections for House seats.

Currently, House members are elected by districts. Our friends in the GOP, using sophisticated analytical techniques, have gerrymandered the country to the point it will take an act of Buddha to get Congress back.

Is there anyone who believes a state that would send us Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken would also send us Michele Bachmann? A district specifically designed to hold every RWNJ in Minnesota would; the whole state probably would not.

So we amend the Constitution to require representatives to live in the district they represent but to stand for election statewide.

Oh...forget the "Representatives are elected to serve their constituents." Now they serve anyone but; look at all the Rs who serve only Grover Norquist and Wayne LaPierre.

2. "So we amend the Constitution"

Were it so easy.

Impossible.
