Yesterday, I called my state representative’s office to propose two ideas:

(1) That Florida ratify James Madison’s Congressional Apportionment Amendment.

and

(2) That Florida should augment the size of our state assembly to align ourselves with the Cube Root Rule, which would be roughly 278 delegates (both state reps and state senators included, since senators are proportionally distributed at the state level).

To my surprise, my state representative’s office called me back today and asked for a draft proposal for each of these ideas. They would like historical reasons, data & research, as well as some of the potential costs/benefits of implementing the ideas.

I don’t mind making the attempt, but now that we have thousands of supporters and a wealth of accumulated information, I though we might be able to put our heads together to make sure make these proposals are as appealing as possible to legislators of the various states and members of the public.

If you haven’t already, please consider similarly contacting your state representatives and state senators to increase awareness about underrepresentation in the USA (and probably your state and local governments).
