Back in 1812, Governor Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts approved maps that were drawn to favor his political party. The maps included several politically-motivated districts – including one that was thought to resemble a certain amphibian.

And so, by combining Governor Gerry’s name with the word “salamander,” the term gerrymandering was born.

Now, more than 200 years later, politicians are still manipulating maps.

Whether you call it gerrymandering, map manipulation, rigging the system, or just plain cheating, the result is the same: Voters have less ability to elect leaders who reflect their values, and our democracy is undermined in the process.

That’s why the NDR PAC is fighting across the country to defeat GOP map manipulators and elect leaders who will defend democracy – and we urgently need your help to support our work.

The fight for fair maps is happening right now. In fact, CNN called redistricting “The Hidden Dynamic That Could Tip Control of the House” because more than a dozen districts could be redrawn before the next election!

Our grassroots movement will help decide whether these districts fairly represent the will of the voters, or if instead they allow politicians to secure unearned power. Will you join the fight for fairness by donating to the NDR PAC today?

President Obama said, “We have to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can pick their voters and not the other way around.”

With your help, we can make that happen.
