We have to protest this. We don't need another unwinnable Middle East war.

I usually agree with you, but my life shows pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps can be a real thing. I earned money to go to Barnard picking beans, berries & cherries, graduated as student body prez, later got an MPP & Phd from the Harvard Kennedy School & started the ME's 1st MPP in Cairo.

True, but this is a change only the lege can make and they have every incentive to keep this awesome power clutched closely in their greedy little hands. Ds could have fixed it when they had power, but didn't for the same reason, then fell to REDMAP.

...and four necks

Don't discourage him, now!

The Gooeys

I read her book on power politics but was disappointed that it was short on practical strategies for those trying to push tough reforms (such as getting citizen initiative in the South so we can beat gerrymandering). Hoping she'll write something more focused on how to drive change, build coalitions

In some European countries, the maps are redrawn by a technical committee and there is no political process comparable to gerrymandering. Would definitely be better!
