We need to add a statement about the events this session where bipartisan support was expressed in the Senate and then the House inappropriately table this bill without a vote.

Gerrymandering is a way the majority party (any flavor ) uses to stay in the majority. It does not provide true democracy. I would like to help with redistricting in Virginia.

We need to know where our legislators stand on the issue of gerrymandering! Too much is done without us knowing!

I know that my representative Mark Obenshein is against this democratic move because I spoke with his office. But he needs to have a vote on record so all his constituents can know he didn't vote for even the simplest rule forbidding legislators to cut out people who don't vote "their way".

Let's base districting around school districts. That should help keep them tight, and have some unifying characteristics.

Earlier this month, hundreds of Virginians from the Harrisonburg area alone called delegates to ask them to pursue this matter. It clearly holds importance for them and should be addressed in a vote that reflects their values.

Choosing representative districts on a non-partisan basis may be the best chance we have to preserve our democracy!

It's not democratic to continue gerrymandering the way it is. We need to end it.
