Can Congress Be Fixed?
Don't Blame The People We Elect
Congress has just one job—representing you—and it’s failing miserably. Enough members of Congress have come and gone we cannot blame the people we elect. No, what’s broken is Congress itself. Congress seems designed to represent everybody except the voter.
Can Congress be fixed? Yes! The Representation Amendment solves the deepest failures of Congress and you’re the winner for it.

The Representation Amendment
Congress Can Be Fixed
Everything wrong with Congress boils down to one thing—lack of representation of the voters. The structure of Congress allows (or even forces) our elected officials to represent political parties, donors, and themselves before the voters.
The Representation Amendment restructures Congress to put you, the voter, in charge. Read the book to learn how.
The Representation Amendment
The Representation Amendment fixes Congress by boxing the members of Congress into representation of voters before all others.
We Don’t Have Enough People In Congress
Your congressperson represents approximately 700,000 people and that number grows every year. Why? Because the House of Representatives is fixed at 435 seats no matter what the population. Let’s fix the number of people in a House district to 30,000 and adjust the number of House seats as the population grows.
On a map, draw a circle big enough to include the 30,000 people living around your house. That could be your House district. Somebody living in that circle will speak for you in Congress. You will be heard.
And The People Already There Are The Wrong Ones
Your state has an economy, population, and/or land mass greater than most nations. But your state has no say in writing the laws by which it must abide. That’s regulation without representation. And that’s just wrong.
Your state needs ambassadors to represent its interests—which are really your interests as a resident of your state—in Congress.
The Representation Amendment gives you a strong voice in the House of Representatives as an individual. This frees up the Senate to represent you as a resident of your state. Let’s give states the representation they deserve by allowing them to appoint two ambassadors to the Senate.
