“It’s not the issue I care about most, but it is the issue I must care about first.”

Gerrymandering is described as the system for politicians to choose their voters rather than the other way around.  It fosters political extremism, low voter turnout, gridlock and politicians who respond to contributors instead of the voters they represent.   It’s been called an “incumbency protection racket.”  Indiana is one of the States most plagued by non-competitive districts.  It is critical that the Legislature takes action this session.  Voters have to come together to demand action.

But what can I do?
