You don’t need political power to make real change, says activist Katie Fahey. She tells the story of how she led a successful movement in Michigan to end gerrymandering — the practice of drawing district lines to favor one political party — and how it all started with a simple social media post.

People like Bernie Sanders like to point out the problems but they never have any solutions to fix any of the problems and they aren’t asking for help from WE THE PEOPLE and neither is the Media and F it all,I should be RULING America because I actually do have genius level Utopian ideas to fix most of the big problems.

On the contrary, Sanders was the only political candidate who had an actual, actionable plan that addressed real problems

Main message is: no one (aka only 1 president) has the power to fix the country. Small acts like this, starting locally, is what it’s gonna make America great again (so be careful which mayor/governor you’re gonna be electing next time…)

Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it.. show me a man who doesn’t have an investment and I will tell you how soon he’ll go broke .. investment is building a safe heaven for the future. with the right choice of investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an expert guidance profit and interest is 100% guaranteed.

This is such an important message for our times. In western countries, most people are not suffering and those that are will not be heard. The people that run our state are confident in the apathy of a disenfranchised electorate and our democracy is broken. The only people who can’t change the world are those who believe they can’t and right now, thanks to the climate of fear, that is most of us.

I think you have a problem with even dividing districs up and then smacking a red or blue color on the whole district. Just count and add the total votes to the votes from other districs. No division nessary. No “winner takes all”. It will even make it more possible for competition from new parties.
