Forum Post: Gerrymandering- a possible area for activism and change

I'm not sure if many of you have gotten the chance to read the recent CNN article on Gerry Mandering and how our votes don't matter, but it's pretty alarming! http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/18/politics/gerrymandering/index.html It seems as though most of these politicians don't have to worry that much about their seats. This gives them a sense of safety and they are less likely to listen to the people. I believe that this is one area in which the people can take power back into our own hands. I believe we should try and fight to make the district line drawing process non-partisan. We should make these politicians actually work for their positions and therefore make them give more weight to what the people are saying. I believe that this is important enough that people should be behind it. We should let our votes count again!
