Subject: Model Resolution - REDISTRICT NOW1
It's not likely that anyone has ever taught your state legislator what the Constitution says about how many people should reside in each of our congressional districts, so maybe their ignorance not their fault. But, since he/she took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, perhaps it's time to help them understand it.
Our state representatives and state senators will be redistricting following the 2020 census. BUT, unless they are taught differently, they will be perpetuating an illegal, unlawful, and unconstitutional system of representation!
BY LAW - by the Constitution, (AKA "the Supreme Law of the Land"), we are supposed to have congressional districts consisting of 30,000 residents per each. (Article I, Section 2). Today the national average is about 750,000 residents! This is untenable, and it is illegal. Congress, in its wisdom (?) passed a law that was in direct violation of the Constitution, with the Reapportionment Act of 1929, limiting the number of seats to 435. It had no authority to do so.
Attached you will find a model resolution which can be presented to the precinct conventions in the coming primaries, regardless of party. This is a non-partisan issue - ALL Americans deserve to be represented in Congress. Most currently are not. There is no feasible way that one person can adequately represent nigh on to a million people. Small districts were the intent of the Founding Fathers, and happen to remain the Law of the Land.
ONLY the State Legislatures can ratify the Original First Amendment, which would have epanded our districts to 50,000 residents. (www.OurFirstRight.org) And eleven have already ratified it! 27 more States can pass it, and their governors cannot veto that decision. Nor can the president veto it. Nor can Congress or the Supreme Court overrule the States on ratification. It's over their heads.
If I am not clear. please ask me to elaborate. Please correct me, if you think I am wrong. Otherwise, you have a duty to do what is right, and to make Congress accountable once again to The People.

A Model Resolution for My State Legislature – REDISTRICT NOW1
Whereas, the Federal Government, which was created and designed to be a servant of the States and of The People, has usurped its authority, and grown exponentially to become a Master over both the States and the People; and,
Whereas, the Founding Fathers perceived that the way to prevent this happening was to create small congressional districts of 30,000 residents, so that The People could actually know and influence their Representative in Congress; and,
Whereas, the first Article in the original Bill of Rights called for eventually expanding those districts up to a permanent cap of 50,000 residents; and,
Whereas, in 1929 Congress illegally froze the number of districts to 435 seats (for ONE reason – space!), violating the Constitution in the process and giving us districts today of well over three-quarters of a million residents each; and,
Whereas, it is impossible for any elected Public Servant to adequately represent so many people;
Be it therefore resolved, that: the state legislature of __(this state)__ either return to constitutional government and redistrict their state with one representative for every 30,000 residents, OR ratify the Original First Amendment, and redistrict for one representative for every 50,000 residents.
____________________________
Permission from the Federal Government is not required. An understanding of the Constitution IS required.
As a state legislator, you took an oath to support and defend that document as the “Supreme Law of the Land.” No act of legislation may violate or contradict the Constitution. By law, the current size of every district should be 30,000.
It is your duty to either get to work redistricting to 30,000, or ratify the Original First, and then start redistricting to 50,000. Let the Federal government scream, let them threaten, let them sue. The Courts cannot rule against the Constitution. If they do, they are null and void.
