What do you mean ALMOST RIGGED?

Search results for gerrymandering shot above one million hits. Is the CNN production titled
"Why your vote for Congress might not matter"  By James Polk, CNN the reason?


Some things you might not know:
....... "David Wasserman, redistricting expert for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, says only 20 races for Congress are expected to be tossups in the 2012 election. That's only 20 out of the 435 seats in the House."............

Or the history behind gerrymandering......

Or why segregation is an issue....  Watch or read

Ohio Democratic Party: Sign the Petition to Stop the Republican Gerrymander!

Dear Juanita,
This week, Chairman Chris Redfern held a press conference to launch the petition campaign to repeal House Bill 319, Republicans’ unfair, gerrymandered Congressional map. And now, petitions are available in Fairfield County.
We asked you to sign the Senate Bill 5 petition. We asked you to sign the petition to repeal the voter suppression bill. And now… you guessed it… we need you to add your signature to this petition as well.
Below is an opportunity to sign in your county.
WHERE: Fairfield County Democratic Party HQ
118 N. Columbus St., Lancaster OH
WHEN: Friday 11/4 - Saturday 11/5: 9am - 9pm
Sunday 11/6: 12p - 9p
Monday 11/7 - Tuesday 11/8: 12p - 9pm
Additional hours coming soon
Additional signing locations will be announced across the state. Click here for the latest information.
Signing this petition will make sure we have competitive elections that result in fair Congressional representation for all Ohioans. And it will stop Republicans from locking in an egregious, unfair map for an entire decade.
Just like before, we need 231,147 signatures (including YOURS!) to put this issue on the ballot.
We hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,
Your friends at the Ohio Democratic Party
