When I was a director of the state of CA Real Estate association, we had in the area of 2000 directors and 135,000 members. I went to my own Board of Directors, 18 of us, and persuaded the group to start telling the members we represented the things we learned at the state meetings, so they got something for their dues.
More Government ?Each representative speaks for 760,000 people. This number is clearly too large for effective representation.
It’s Time to Expand the House of Representatives - Harvard Political Review
An increase in the number of U.S. representatives would remedy a century-old policy misstep and help the House better serve its purpose of serving the needs and interests of American citizens.theharvardpoliticalreview.com
Most would be gerrymandered, of course. But there will be more purple districts if we increase the number. The larger issue is, of course, how to expand it and to what number. I don’t know the former. The latter...we need to essentially double the size of the house. Espansion should take place in three stages over 16 years. This would eleviate any shocks to the system to where there are too many of any one party elected at once. Whats more is that this can (and likely will) create seats for third parties since it will tkae fewer voters to win a seat in Congress.
More debt.

A good example is NY City now run by Muslims.
Nothing in the history of the world has ever been made better by more Government. The Fed needs to be cut back to it's Constitutional mandate not expanded.
Sure....bandits are decimating your village in _________ nation. Who do you call to stop it?
Currently you have a representtive who also represents nearly 1M other citizens. Do you feel represented in Congress? How about the guy in your district who is politically the opposite of you?
