2020 - Our First Chance in 10 Years to End Gerrymandering.

[AVG-JOE]

And our last chance to end the practice of Gerrymandering in 10 years.

Congressional districts mean a LOT to both the state politicians who draw them and the national representatives who use them to put party over the American People.

The time is now to start the process of badgering your state representatives to end Gerrymandering in your state at the next census in 2020. Don't let your state remain an embarrassing bastion of political corruption.


Obama certainly had his share of mistakes, but calling for an end to Gerrymandered Congressional districts was not among them.

But that means if we want a better politics -- and I'm addressing the American people now -- if we want a better politics, it’s not enough just to change a congressman or change a senator or even change a President. We have to change the system to reflect our better selves. I think we've got to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can pick their voters, and not the other way around. Let a bipartisan group do it.

Very interesting story and video:
This is actually what America would look like without gerrymandering

Every President since Johnson has been an advocate for 'change'. So far... nothing.

If it's change that you want, change congress.

Here is the video from the story linked above for the lazy among you.

over the last 8 or so years, the left bitches about Gerry Mandering when its done in Red States, but do they bitch when its done in blue states?

 

[AVG-JOE]

It's time to end the practice of letting the representatives pick their voters, and let the voters pick their representatives.

This is not a left or right issue - this is a voters issue. The left is certainly just as guilty of Gerrymandering as is the right, although the right is a whole lot better at it

It's time to put The People ahead of party and end Gerrymandering now for ALL states!

Career politicians on both sides of the isle live off gerrymandering equally... fact

Hence the need to end it. If Trump wants to solidify a legacy and leverage his popularity, he should make it a cornerstone of his agenda.

And which party does the computer map favor

 

[Defiant1]

Having some experience with this, I would say the comp. map would favor Republicans.

Based on what.....Who wrote the program and what is their background

 

[Rexx Taylor]

and who is this Gerry guy? where does he live?

 

[BluesLegend]

Gerrymandering is how the two parties rig elections, no way in hell they are giving that up. They draw districts to make sure only one party has a chance to win that district. Then they pick who will win that district.

Worse, once the representative gets to DC they are told what to do under threat of losing their seat in the next primary if they don't kiss the party leaderships ass. They are not allowed to vote in the best interest of their constituents, they are ordered to vote as the leadership tells them even if that conflicts with what's best for their constituents.

Hillary/Gerry 2020 !!!

And this is an excuse to continue the practice?!?

It's time to put The American People ahead of The Political Parties.

 

[AVG-JOE]

And which party does the computer map favor

Neither, if it's being done correctly.

Which is why I asked what we know about the programmer. If it was done right CBC would cease to exist or be hard to find

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

This is never going to happen, let alone by 2020. The drawing of districts is controlled by the states so you need all 50 to pass it. A few have, but that's mostly been due to ballot initiatives by the people, so the politicians were dragged into it kicking and screaming.

The right had been calling for an end to gerrymandering for 2 or 3 decades60's-80's, it fell on deaf ears, so instead they did something about it, took back congress and now it hurts the left, who in turn now is hoping the right isn't just as deaf
