The partisan quagmire that
is about to crash the system stems from a failure of the States to properly
organize their people. What the people
most need is a sensibly sized “home district” and their one rep who takes over
all governing duties in their behalf.
This nation has never known the tranquility that such as system could
bring to it.
Only the State Governments
are able to reorganize their people into sensibly sized home districts. Inexplicably, States have never seen fit to
do so. Their myopic legislatures feel
bound by their State Constitutions, while at the same time they fail to see
that they are contradicting their Federal Constitution’s call for Congressional
Districts. The two constitutions should
be reconciled in favor of the more dominant Federal Constitution.
The Federal System requires
a common set of districting. Otherwise,
it simply will not work. It is not
working now and never has worked. What
is working now are two clashing systems of States vs. the Federal
Government. The people are caught in the
middle and are being driven insane as they try to satisfy the voting demands
made upon them by the two clashing systems.
Whenever the State
Legislatures see fit to abandon their districting system in favor of a
“commonly agreed upon size of Congressional District” to also run their State
Governments, the people can have their sanity back. One set of “home districts” of 40,000 each
creates 8,000 reps. With those 8,000
reps, let’s return to the original plans laid out in the Constitution. Let them elect the executives of the federal
system, Governors, President, et al.
And, tranquilly, make all of our laws.
