Increasing Representation, "Of the People",within the U.S. Congress.

Created by W.W. on October 27, 2011

In,I believe 1901AD the US Congress fixed, through legislation,the number of members of the U.S. House of Representatives at 435 members.It is believed by the petitioners the number of members so authorized is inadequate in this era of complicated government nor does it effectively reflect the Needs and Voice "of all the People".This petition would seek to remedy what is a glaring affront to the quasi -democratic government model which are these United States.In 1901 there where about 77,584,000 persons in these United States when the 435 member figure was fixed.As is well known now the popualtion has increased to about 310,000,000.Using the logic of 1900 that equated to about one member of the US House of Representatives for every 178,354.We seek one member per every 250,000 citizens.
