It's a shame that people can't see the difference between a politician and a representative--that alone shows how defunct the status quo is. Without a few thousand more representatives, we are edging on delusional when we call ourselves a democracy of any sort.

I am a big fan of this effort. Proportional representation along with efforts like No sheriff left behind. All acted on in unison will be the only way to restore a workable constitution. Smaller Goverment people recoil at the concept of more representatives... Vote them out they say. Politics would not be so devicive if the 49% majority were ...

Thirty-Thousand.org, Inc. Conservative commentator Walter Williams has written about the need for more representatives. He observes that "restricting the number of representatives confers significant monopoly power that goes a long way toward explaining the stranglehold the two parties have and the high incumbent success rates. It might also ex...plain the power of vested interest groups to influence congressional decisions."

My first reaction is that there are better poster-boys for your cause than Washington ... one of the wealthiest and most elitist of the founders. He sided finally with the Federalists. Wouldn't your movement be better represented by a prominent ANTI-federalist? Someone identified with the legislature of the people?

Is your point that the Federalists opposed the expansion of the size of the House of Representatives or that they thought the House of Representatives was an elitist body?
