Reply #55: None of this means ANYTHING if our votes are gerrymandered.

Our whole election process is so totally broken that we're all sitting here stewing about what fault to look at first. But what we're ALL saying is that we're NOT feeling like we're represented, because we're NOT!!

Between redistricting gerrymandering, and a house and senate whose representatives have been elected by machines that did not reflect the votes of the people, we've ALL been feeling the "vibe" that what is going on in America is NOT what Americans HAVE voted for, nor WOULD HAVE voted for.

Schools that can't/don't teach our kids, police having rights to do things we never thought our country stood for, corporate politicians selling our jobs to the country w/ the lowest bidder, laws designed to protect our food and air and water that were thrown out when our country went "global", and news media that fails to INFORM the public about the impacts on PEOPLE of legislation being proposed before congress.... etc.

All these things have our entire population split and divided... each blaming the OTHER side, when in fact, it's all happening as a result of our congress, who, come to find out through BBV research, weren't really ELECTED!! Privatized voting machines SELECTED them.

Problems with the entire election process is at the root of every problem we're having right now. And at the BASIS of this "root" is the Election Center and programmable and uncertified/uncertifiable voting machines.

Couple that with a corporate media that is in bed with the voting machine corporaations, and you have the biggest mess any of us could have only DREAMED about 30 years ago.

One has to eradicate THE ROOT.....THE VERY ROOT of the problem.... before ANY OTHER type of changes can be made.
