over what it was in when the Constitution was written.

This dilution of representation from the shortage of Representatives to increased represented population only serves to estrange the Congress from the peoples' every day reality.

Under the current dynamic an ever increasing number of Americans will just be written off as politically expendable, and the "cost of doing business."

Thanks for the thread struggle4progress
