[Flash]

The primary purpose of Thirty-Thousand.org is to conduct research on, and increase awareness of, the degradation of representative democracy in the United States resulting from Congress’ longstanding practice of limiting the number of congressional districts despite the continuing growth in the nation’s population.

As technology, communication, and travel become more sophisticated, I think we can handle all the people well enough.

Just imagine how many more ways they could find to spend our money if there were 6,000 of them. Then the cost of all their staff and their benefits and pay and perks. All of them feeling that they went to Washington to "do something"- and send back pork to their districts to bribe the voters and help them keep their jobs.

Well, looking at our history, The Constitution sure has gone to $#@! since they stopped basing the number of representatives on population. I would definitely rather pay more congressman; so long as they respect the Constitution and repeal every single one that is unconstitutional, than pay for Iraq(and all our other debacles).It would be easier for us to get liberty minded individuals into seats, which is what we need to make a priority.

300,000,000 Americans should be allowed to have more than 435 congressional districts.

Q8: Even with reduced federal expenditures, wouldn’t it be too costly to add all these Representatives?
