Gerrymandering is despicable! I heard this sentiment from over 30 people at a community event recently as we asked for signatures to support HB31 and SB131 .
These bills present an opportunity for our legislators to create an Independent Redistricting Commission that is run by citizens and utilizes census data to develop a map that truly represents the voice of the voters.
Our state legislature is both large and inefficient. It is up to us, the citizens, to let them know that we need action on these two bills and others that directly affect our welfare.
You can find your legislators at www.legis.state.pa.us and information about HB31 and SB131 at www.fairdistrictspa.com .
Please take action. We don’t want to be the next Texas.
