I do like the state-by-state technique, but I think it should be coupled with a consistent policy of voting against any and every officeholder who devalues American citizenship, starting with our contemptible, feckless U.S. Senate.

The U.S. Senate, as a body, is hopelessly corrupt.

Think about it: Throughout your entire state, you vote for two—TWO—people to represent you.

That's one person per (your state's population divided by 2).

Your ONLY hope is to ensure that you have control of your State government, and that we continue to increase our control locally. By doing so, we gain control over the only Government which can truly claim to even come close to representing us, no?

The Federal government is lost. It hasn't been listening to the public in at least a decade—over 90 years, by my estimate.

I don't know about yours, but my state government doesn't represent my interests.

Unseating senators who've betrayed our interests, on the other hand, is eminently doable, especially if we target ones who represent so-called swing states, e.g. Martinez, Stabenow, DeWine, among others.
