Doug - I mean a revolution in the way we think about each other. We are not the enemy. Its when we take sides and try to demonize each other that we lose our power. As has been posted above, the name of the game is for politicians to keep us divided so that they can keep themselves in power.

None of the present politicians represent you or me. We are just a means to an end for them. Government has to change and start representing us.

A non-partisan redistricting at the State level sounds like a pretty good start. Any re-structuring has to be simple enough for everyone to understand. It takes alot of education.

We tried to do something like that at the city level, here in Vancouver but the referendum failed because it was so complicated that nobody could understand it.
