Expand the house of representatives. Can the peoples’ house really represent the people with 700,000 constituents to every one representative? Wouldn’t we all be better represented with more representatives? I am not a spammer or affiliated with this website but i am really excited about what they are advocating at http://thirty-thousand.org/. I don’t know what ideology this comes from but I really don’t care either. I think this is truly something everyone can get behind. In my opinion, this may even make it harder for huge special interests to control our legislature which really is what our biggest hurdle to common sense solutions is. Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not?
