Utah has a population of 3,206,000 and has 4 Congressional Representatives if Utah was properly represent it would have 76 representatives.

If all of the states have a combined population of 329,500,000 and if all of the states were properly represented we would have 10,983 Congressional Representative instead of just 435.

With more representation the political power that is currently vested in the hands of 435 agents of the Wall Street bankers and corporations will be transferred to "We the People"
