John, Wiley asked that we make sure you saw his last message, because he’ll need every bit of support we can muster to move the Fair Maps Act in Congress. Will you add your name and co-sponsor our bill to end gerrymandering nationwide?

Every signature sends a message to Congress that we’re tired of politicians rigging our maps, stealing our voices, and cementing themselves into power. Your support means the world to us.

Subject: The Fair Maps Act
Hi John,
If you want to point a finger at one issue wreaking havoc on democracy, it may very well be gerrymandering. Rigged maps are to blame for supercharged polarization, outright extremists on Capitol Hill, and some of the least productive Congresses in our nation’s history.
Without the dysfunction, partisanship, and hopelessness that gerrymandering creates, we may not have Trump or Trumpism today. We can’t fix our democracy without fixing gerrymandering.
That’s why I introduced the Fair Maps Act to ensure fair, balanced maps in every state. Can you please add your name as a citizen co-sponsor of my bill to end gerrymandering nationwide? [[link removed]]

Experts have estimated that my bill would DOUBLE the number of competitive U.S. House districts nationwide, while ensuring millions of Americans had a more meaningful say in who represents them in Washington. It would:
1.
Enact
fair
standards
and
nonpartisan
guidelines
that
every
state’s
Congressional
map
would
be
required
to
meet
2.
Standardize
the
mapmaking
process
across
states
—
ensuring
transparency
and
accountability
for
every
voter
and
lawmaker
3.
Create
independent
redistricting
commissions
—
consisting
of
five
Democrats,
five
Republicans,
and
five
independent
experts
—
in
every
state
Voters, not politicians, should choose who speaks for them in Washington. If you agree, please add your name to citizen co-sponsor the Fair Maps Act today. [[link removed]]
