I agree. I believe that making the congressional districts much smaller will make our government far more democratic, as well as bring about the end to the two-party duopoly on political power.
You like keeping the congressional districts at 700,000++, and letting them grow to 1,300,000 by 2100. So we disagree on that.

It would be done in the same manner it is done now: in committees. That does not change. And instead of our Representatives spending almost every day raising money and campaigning, they will then have time to
read the proposed legislation. I do not need my Representative to sit on the committee, I need him/her to vote up or down on proposed legislation based on his/her constituent's best interests.
