Abolish the Senate

Created by M.D. on April 02, 2014

The senate is an archaic and unrepresentative institution that gives disproportionate voting power to small states with relatively few people.
We need to abolish (or reform) the senate to ensure that all votes are equal. In Wyoming, a voter has more than sixty times the voting power than a California voter in the Senate.

To uphold the constitutional ideal of all men created equal, we must ensure that all votes are created equal.
We could reform the senate by having 100 senators each represent 1% of the population, and continue to have six year terms.
In today's modern age, states do not need their own representatives.
Votes should come from people and from places where people live, and Senators should have to focus on the issues that people care about.
