The US Constitution is the greatest contract ever created. The Founding Fathers were brilliant students of history, philosophy, and government with first-hand experience of tyranny as well as the failure of the Articles of Confederation. They spent months in the summer of 1787 debating every clause to devise the system of government we enjoyed until 1929. Their genius was the separation of powers.
Aristotle documented the fatal flaw of any "pure" form of government. He knew that power corrupts. One man rule always devolves from monarchy to tyranny. Elite rule always devolves from aristocracy to oligarchy. Rule by the many always devolves from polity to democracy. Each in its virtuous form is necessary for a country to survive. The monarch is the most effective military leader. The aristocrats are the stabilizing force and source of necessary resources. The people, when serving their country rather than themselves, are the ultimate source of strength.
In order to tap these virtues and guard against corruption, the Constitution places the President in charge of the military and foreign policy, the Senate as his advisors and a check against tyranny, and the people's House to secure the consent of the governed.
They also gave the House the power of the purse to ensure that the elites would not abuse their position to enrich themselves. The House was supposed to be made up of working class people. They wrote Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 to ensure that winning a seat in the House would be easy for a regular citizen.
The final debate of the Constitutional Convention was whether the size of Congressional districts should be 30K or 40K. Those arguing for the smaller district worried that 40K would be too large for in-person campaigning and monied interests could exert their influence which was supposed to be exclusively the role of the Senate. George Washington, who had remained silent throughout the convention, spoke in favor of the smaller size which was written into the final draft.
This is what we lost in 1929. The House no longer serves its intended role. The elites control both the Senate and the House. The Permanent Apportionment Act capped the number of seats in the House. This altered the intent of the Founding Fathers' design and has eroded faith in the federal government to the point where consent of the governed has to be secured through gaslighting, propaganda, and programmed ignorance. Civics is no longer taught in schools because an educated population would demand a repeal of the Permanent Apportionment Act. Instead, we continue to vote out the party in power, hoping something will change.
So here is my call to action. Ask your primary candidates if they are aware of Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3. Ask them to explain the intent of that Clause. Ask them for a pledge to sponsor legislation to repeal the Permanent Apportionment Act and return our Republic to the system envisioned by the Founding Fathers.

Dear John Thune,
@ScottPresler has never lied about you
Scott has been peaceful & calm in asking you to do what the majority of the country wants,
to pass the Save America Act.
Scott is our voice.
You tried to silence us.
We will not be silenced
Attacking @ScottPresler is career suicide! Scott has more support than most politicians could ever dream of. @LeaderJohnThune I would highly suggest you make a public apology to Scott or your political career is over.
Actually, nevermind. We're done with apologies. Your actions were loud and clear. The American people will show you how much we support Scott.
I call for the immediate removal of John Thune as Senate Leader.
Not only for the way he treated Scott but also for his refusal to bring the Save America Act to a vote.
Thune is a corrupted DC swamp creature who deceives the American people daily.
REMOVE THUNE!!
This is how the GOP Senate blocks Trump from recess appointments.
2 minute pro forma sessions every few days during their vacation.
Only POTUS in history that has had recess appointments blocked by his own party.
Think about that.
Traitors.
Sickening.
We seriously need to have a national conversation about the two generations of women suffering from the combination of social media and feminist ideology. There are literally tens of millions of women who spent their child-bearing years living the "strong independent woman" narrative, who will spend the second half of their lives alone or chasing men with too many choices. If I were a communist strategist in the 1950s trying to figure out how to bring down America, introducing feminist theory into Universities would be step 1. @pearlythingz@Christinegracex@JedediahBila@FeminismOnTrial
It's never too early to prepare for victory. @SecRollins should be assembling massive shipments of food relief to support the liberated people of Iran. When @SecWar finishes the #IRGC, our new brothers and sisters will need a hand up to complete the mission.
That outside influence President Trump is talking about is Norm Eisen and Judge Boasberg, two "FRIENDS" of Justice Roberts.
It's time for Republicans to get off their asses and start investigating these Judges.

Never forget…
John Roberts authored a 5-4 opinion to strike down Obamacare under the Commerce Clause but then switched his opinion to join the 4 liberals Justices.
Roberts saved the unconstitutional Obamacare at the last second.
What do they have on Roberts?
Compromised.
This is Matthew Carney.
He was 42 years old.
An ILLEGAL was stealing tools from Carneys pickup truck outside of the restaurant he owned. Carney came out confronted him & attempted to stop him. He then proceeded to drive into Matthew, who was critically injured & later died. The ILLEGAL was also wanted on an outstanding auto theft warrant. These are the people democrats protest FOR. They don't care about their victims.
TARIFFS WORK 🚨
This store owner says a toy factory was set to close near his business and layoff it's work force
That is until Trumps Tariffs forced a Canadian Co to build the company in Michigan, and everyone kept their jobs
You won't hear about this on CNN or MSNOW
Trump just walked into a darkened Press Briefing Room and went around the Supreme Court by slapping separate tariffs on countries throughout the world using a 1974 statute never invoked before.
This is so gangster. Greatest president in American history.
