We should be supporting the constitutional ammendments voted on by the voters of Floirda just last fall. The Fair Districts Ammendment isn't just a good idea, it is the law.

Ammendment 5

Legislative districts or districting plans may not be drawn to favor or disfavor an incumbent or political party. Districts shall not be drawn to deny racial or language minorities the equal opportunity to participate in the political process and elect representatives of their choice. Districts must be contiguous. Unless otherwise required, districts must be compact, as equal in population as feasible, and where feasible must make use of existing city, county and geographical boundaries

Ammendment 6

The new Section 20 to Article III reads as follows:

Section 20. Standards for establishing congressional district boundaries In establishing Congressional district boundaries: (1) No apportionment plan or individual district shall be drawn with the intent to favor or disfavor a political party or an incumbent; and districts shall not be drawn with the intent or result of denying or abridging the equal opportunity of racial or language minorities to participate in the political process or to diminish their ability to elect representatives of their choice; and districts shall consist of contiguous territory. (2) Unless compliance with the standards in this subsection conflicts with the standards in subsection (1) or with federal law, districts shall be as nearly equal in population as is practicable; districts shall be compact; and districts shall, where feasible, utilize existing political and geographical boundaries. (3) The order in which the standards within sub-sections (1) and (2) of this section are set forth shall not be read to establish any priority of one standard over the other within that subsection.

 

This simple common sense approach that voters mandated be used in apportionment is the only legally acceptable approach that is acceptable. Period.

I know Im not going anywhere, but I keep looking for Washington. So far the best the GOP can do is Michelle, really, why not Cain. No more career politicians for me thank you.
