#1 On behalf of all Georgians, I extend a sincere thank you to the states who have chosen to downsize their representation by..... RUNNING HARD WORKING TAXPAYERS OFF!

#4 This will be the first redistricting since Calif became a state in 1850 in which they did not gain representatives. California went from 30 to 53 seats from 1950 to 2000 (but only gained one in the 2000 census).

Now the number of immigrants from the far east has slowed and the number of immigrants from the south is balanced by people leaving the state.

#5 People are voting with their feet. This is what the American people want. Our representatives should figure this out and make it so. Our representatives should not be trying to figure out ways to subvert the will of the American people.

#6 "~~Our representatives~~Democrats should not be trying to figure out ways to subvert the will of the American people."

GFL on that one, gorb. It's what they do best (along with some of the old Repubs). >:-(
