Liberty, Equality and Justice

[Keith Broaders]

The Comstitution was written to create a government that would create a more perfect Union. The ultimate goal of the Constitution was to protect the natural rights of the people and to prevent the majority from harming a minority.

TThe founders wanted to create a just society where liberty, equality and justice were defended.

One of our core values includes the right to vote. It is a well established principle that everone's has an equal value.

Every elgible voter in every legislative has a right to vote and have their vote  counted equally.

The Supreme Court has ruled on numerous occasions that the principle if "One Person One Vote" applies in all State and Federal Elections.

The Stae of Wuoming has just one Congressional District that represents 576,000 people and the 989,000 people livving in Delawarealso have just one vote.  The principle of "One Man One Vote" does not apply in Delaware

The House of Representatives was supposed to be based on proportional representatives. A state with twice as many people should have twice as many representative..

California has over 39 million people or one representativeand 52 Comgressional Districts representing an average of over 750,000 people. If California and Wyoming were equally represented, Califirnia would have 16 more Congressional Representatives and16 more electoral votes.

Over 200,000 people in each of  California's 52 Disctricts are not being counted for apportionment in the Hoise of Representatives.

The problem exists because Congress passed the Permanent Apportionment Act in 1929 which froze the membership in the House to 435. This statute was then, and is now uinconstitutional,and needs to be repealed.All Congressional Districts need to be equal in size to the district in the stat with the fewest constituents

If our House was properly apportion we would have 574 Congressional Districts and every state would be properly apportioned.
