Well......at least until ATT, viacom etc have dibs first. Which users will of course pay for. That 50 bucks or so I'll save in income tax should cover it. At least they have a plan right?

They are all the same. Same people, different color ties.

Interesting article I read said that the House was only supposed to have 1 rep to 30k constituents, based on the founders numbers/beliefs. It would 4x the size of the house. That's how you more appropriately represent your public.
But that would take power from the people who vote for it, so yeah... Never going to happen.

You realize that that would mean we'd have 10,000 House members, right? 300,000,000 / 30,000 = 10,000.

I mean, things have changed since now the members have to represent people like women and children (and BLACK PEOPLE!!) who were excluded from the original count.

Black people were counted at 3/5 then. Either way, splitting it to 1000 house members would be far more representative.

You know that you can't claim something goes against the wishes of the framers of the Constitution and then propose something that still goes against the Constitution, right? Stick to your guns and demand 10,000 House of Representatives, don't half-ass it and acquiesce and go for something "slightly less bad".
