Hi there! Welcome to one and all! And I mean that - all factions are welcome here. As long as you're respectful and in good humor.

If any conversation devolves into anger, it will be removed, and the users banned for a period of time to cool off.

Please keep it light in here. Serious discussions are allowed, but don't get sanctimonious or belittling. Always consider that the other person you're talking to is here in good faith and wants a common goal.

We may disagree on tactics, but ultimately we all want to live in a society of wellness for all, and we should work together for that goal.

The Fair Representation Act has been re-introduced in Congress. This bold solution can stop gerrymandering and make Congress work for every American. 

The Fair Representation Act can solve partisan gerrymandering, make every congressional district competitive, and encourage politicians to represent all of us instead of just their base. It does this by combining three reforms: 

  • Multi-member districts. In three- or five-member districts, nearly every voter will elect a candidate they support. Voters like Massachusetts Republicans and Oklahoma Democrats will be represented in Congress. Gerrymandering will become nearly impossible.

  • Ranked choice voting for all U.S. House and Senate elections. RCV frees voters to support their favorite candidates, and encourages candidates to reach out to more voters for second-choice support. When RCV is used in multi-member districts, it is a form of proportional representation.

  • Uniform rules for congressional redistricting 

The Fair Representation Act can be passed without a constitutional amendment. It truly has the potential to transform our political system and create a more inclusive and deliberative government which respects and empowers all voices.
