A1HR.org advocates the enactment of a Public Law that caps Congressional Districts at 50,000 citizens, as proposed by the original first amendment in the Bill of Rights known as Article the First. This law would neuter lobbyist HR influence, invalidate Gerrymandering, rectify the Wyoming vs California Electoral College imbalance, greatly reduce the cost of HR races and thus restore the collective wisdom of citizen governance over the House of Representatives.

The feedback I keep hearing is that people feel disconnected from their representatives because individual voices are drowned out in massive districts. We are working on a briefing deck to present to congressional staffers. Text this link to three people today so we can prove this movement has genuine momentum behind it.

The momentum behind this push for Article the First is undeniable now. Send this petition link to three people in your contact list and email your representative to demand they read the proposal.

I don't believe that 50K per district is magic. Why not more or less? But 700K is totally unacceptable in a nation that is to be controlled by its people.

FIX the CONGRESSIONAL FLAW, "Where-in the CONGRESS SERVES..."We The People", rather than themselves, and their LOBBYIST'S, etc, etc.

THIS needs to be rectified...Current, AND... properly adhered to & ratified legally! We, the people need OUR voice Heard & represented...not by wet behind the ears ignorant staffers, nor by the corporate money pushers...

What will you do besides gather petition signatures? Petitions like this get so little exposure...

Make sure President Trump is informed of how American Citizens can help POTUS “Drain The Swamp” and give him the best Representatives to help MAGA.

The two party system is effectively dead as shown in this article...only the people can take back the government
