I beg to differ. Didn't Rosie O'Donut say she was going to vote against Bush?

This is one of my favorite subjects that has facilitated "Rural Cleansing" all over America in each State Capitol as you know!

Wonderful article you have put together for the Grange!!! Bravo!!! Encore!!!

May this issue be revisited in Justice Alito's Supreme Court and overturned from it's devious inception during the Warren Court!!!

Governor Schwarzenegger’s recent special election initiatives included provisions for redistricting.

I disagreed with the provisions as laid out in that initiative but agree that the issue is a valid one. (Next time!)

We’ve all seen odd shapes created when districts are drawn. (23rd Congressional District, Ca)

The solution may be to start using county lines. (I always wondered why we had so dam many of them)

Greater representation needs to be given to rural areas. (It's only fair.)

LA and SF should not be allowed to dominate this state. (' Nuff said.)

The founding fathers decided this issue in what would be known as The Great Compromise. (aaawwwww, who studies history any more?)

We need to return to the principles they laid out, one house apportioned by population, one house apportioned by region.

Sounds fair to me.. a healthy debate never killed anyone, did it? There is, to say the least, a bit of an incongruity in how things are done and who gets to do what to whom when it comes to redistricting in California.

At least a discussion has been ongoing, in time, if we don't turn into part of aztlan, enough voters may actually agree to some kind of reform thet benefits most of not all of its legal residents and citizens.

They need to revoke the voting rights of the dead that elect him every time.

Kind of off-topic; but considering the thread's title...

See you mentioned my county! It is so very true that the decisions are being made by the city-folk. The alternative push is toward regionalization. However, I am not willing to surrender local control to a regional coalition with Humboldt or Shasta County where we would be forced to adopt model ordinances and policies decided by the group. I want government to be accountable to the people that elected them. It is simply wrong for any legislator to pass a law his people will not have to live under. When that happens, it means that government should be taken back down to whatever local level there is that restores proper scope commensurate with accountability.
