Received this e-mail today from Pennsylvania chapter of the Sierra Club:
Our voices are being divided and silenced by gerrymandering.
Support the bills that will lead the way to a fairer, more just judicial system for you and your community.
Politicians throughout Pennsylvania currently have the power to carve out our maps, creating their own district lines and selected voting outcomes.
Whole sectors of Pennsylvanians are being left with inaccurate representation on the issues that concern them most. No matter if you speak for state forests or clean water, we can't make real change until we have fair maps!
Senate Bill 22 and House Bill 722 would help to create just that-- an independent, impartial and ethically bound, commission for both legislative and congressional redistricting.
Let's draw the line at gerrymandering!
