'This is a time to think big and be realistic, prioritizing achievable party-centric reforms'

3/4 of Americans say our democracy is getting weaker. Many blame it on the two-party system.

If only there was a Constitutional and tested reform that could fracture the two-party system, nullify gerrymandering, and represent everyone fairly...

Good reminder: 'The Constitution does not prescribe a manner for the election of congressional representatives. Most of the original 13 states initially used multi-member districts.'

(BTW multi-member districts with #ProRep would nullify gerrymandering!)

Our efforts would not be possible without the many contributions that Protect Democracy has made to elevate and catalyze #ProportionalRepresentation advocacy in the US.

The rules of the House aren’t designed to operate under a multi faction coalition. Thankfully our Constitution empowers the House to make its own rules— so the House can act now to make this common sense change.

Again, the House of Reps faces potential paralysis because of a motion to vacate. It doesn’t have to be this way—Lee Drutman ⚙️🏛, cerin & Rob Oldham propose a small fix that could transform the House: a 'constructive motion to vacate.'
