1. Quit gerrymandering your districts and govern in good faith.

it amazes me that the GOP can't look inside and figure out what the problem is.

3,000,000 more people voted Democratic than Republican in the last presidential election and at least 500,000 were still smarting from 2000.

1,000,000 more people voted for Democrats in the Senate than for Republicans.

I recently also read a statistic that in Pennsylvania, voters poll at 51% Democratic in the state as a whole, yet only held 5 of 18 seats for statewide office in 2012.

We have a minority government in place. No surprise that constituents are upset.
