Reply #2: Since it requires a 2/3 majority of the states,

the "smaller" states will never vote to change it.. We missed that opportunity long ago, and I do not see it coming back.. If the red states suddenly turned "blue", the repubes would start paying more attention..

It's human nature to "play your own advantage"..

I think they whole way we run congress should be re-done..

We have probably doubled our national population since we "set in stone" the number of representatives, and that has caused much grief.. Instead of playing shuffle the districts and keep incleasing the number of people that a representative has to represent every 2 years, it would make more sense to do more "local legislating via video link and actually increase the number of representatives.. Let them serve for 5 year terms instead of having to campaign every 2 years..

And drawing the actual districts should be done by using a grid...the same one for each community.. gerrymandering should be illegal..If the seats were not set into stone, like they are now, there would be no NEED for gerrymandering..as ne communities sprang up, they would automatically be represented, withoout taking representation FROM another group of people..
