I don’t think it’s a waste of time. I wish more of our great thinkers would address/petition more like our founders did.

I do believe it matters how the world sees us, if things were to go south. We are not looking to do away with government, we are just looking to restrain our government as our Constitution intended.

How are we properly represented when we have four hundred and thirty five people representing over three hundred million?

“The apprehension of being degraded into a state of servitude, from the pre-eminent rank of English freemen, while our minds retain the strongest love of liberty, and clearly foresee the miseries preparing for us and our posterity, excites emotions in our breasts which, though we cannot describe, we should not wish to conceal. Feeling as men, and thinking as subjects, in the manner we do, silence would be disloyalty. By giving this faithful information, we do all in our power to promote the great objects of your Royal cares, the tranquillity of your Government, and the welfare of your people.”

Excellent link. War was so very avoidable.

Please elaborate as to your thoughts on proper representation.
