I mentioned this earlier.....look into how our elections are funded and lay down strict, or stricter rules. Outside money cannot be allowed to control our elections. If they are allowed to do so...........our elections don’t mean a thing.
I visited a link: www.Thirty-Thousand.com earlier and I believe that would be one way (the first way) to address the campaigns and funding issues. They show how the Founders intent was no more than 60 thousand constituents per Representative. So, today with approx. 300-million Americans, 1 Representative per 100-thousand would be the best option.
They argue that there is no reason that the number of Representatives has to top out at 435. It was not that way from 1790 to 1910... when the constituents increased, then the district was split in two.
Then I was directed to www.LONLANG.com [Laws Of Nature And Nature's God] where they carefully point out the failure the passing of the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution was. The argument for repealing it is that the state legislatures should select and elect the two Senators to send to Washington. They give all the reason why that was the original intent and why it worked better than the popular vote idea. I like that idea.
