Quick Take --------------------------------------------------------

Pat, I am OK. You are OK.

Abolish the Senate? NO!!!!!!!!

We need bi-partisan reform for the Senate!

Abolish the Senate? NO, we need bi-partisan reform for the Senate! This is and should be a NON-PARTISAN issue. Yes, “dark money” and the filibuster aggravates an already bad unrepresentative situation.

Bernie Sanders has 45 times the authority of any Texas Voter/Senator. Texas has a population of 29,183,290. Vermont has a population of 643,503. Texas Population is 45 times that of Vermont (29,183,290/643,503=45.35 times.

REPUBLICAN Wyoming has 68 times the representation in the senate as DEMOCRATIC California representation. The two senators in Wyoming represent 577,719 population, California 39,576,757 thus 39,576,757/577,719= 68 times.

This Is non-partisan mathematics! The Senate is BLATANTLY unrepresentative, a remnant of the slavery issue. This is a NON-PARTISAN issue. Yes, “dark money” and the filibuster aggravates an already bad unrepresentative situation.

In a new unrepresentative “dark money" senate without regard to the filibuster or party, 52 of the 100 senators, from the 26 least populous states amount to a minimum 18% of the population.

To hold a filibuster, STOP PROGRESS, takes 42 senators from the 21 smallest states with a minimum 11% of the population.

Now you might mistakenly ASSUME that the 30 states and the 60 of 100 senators needed to overcome a filibuster would REQUIRE a majority. WRONG!!!! The 30 least populated states (60 senators) with a population of 80,549,406, amount to only 24% of the total population.

REFORM the UNREPRESENTATIVE “dark money” and the filibuster strapped unrepresentative SENATE – NOW!!!!

This could all be done via a Senate Majority and the Senate Rules.

You want to reform the “dark money unrepresentative Senate”? You can do it easily with a senate majority via the Senate’s own rules. You eliminate the bias of the filibuster in Senate rules, you can re-bias the individual Senators’ votes based on Census population. You could even out-law “Dark Money” via Senate rules also. And then double-dog dare the Congress to do the same.
