It is a little known fact that the first proposed amendment to the Constitution is still pending.  In their infinite wisdom the founders proposed a Constitutional amendment that the maximum people per Congressional district should be 50,000.  If this amendment was ratified by another 26 states (it was ratified by 11 states in the 1790s), then the current Congress would be replaced by a convocation of over 5500 members!  This would be a much more representative "voice of the people Congress" than the current "damn the people we Democrats know what is best Congress."

So please lobby your local state legislatures to ratify the First proposed amendment today.

For a list of states that have ratified this amendment see:
