"Representation is the core of self-government, and it has also become a weapon for party conflict. We are once again at a tipping point. It’s time to return the “government of the people” to the people once more."

Uncapping the House would lessen the need for special interest money, make districts smaller and harder to gerrymander, and make representatives more accountable to a smaller group of Americans and therefore the performative antics would have a real consequence in a representatives home community.
First and foremost this dysfunction rests in Congress, and specifically the House of Representatives. The House is beset by special interests, gerrymandered districts, and performative showmanship.
Representation launched the American Revolution, and Representation is the core of what makes America great-and the places where we are lacking in Representation is where our system has become dysfunctional.
@jmayhugh28.bsky.social and Andy Tippet break down how to reduce the negative partisanship of gerrymandering in a recent piece at @thehill.com

1 rep to 776,000 citizens. This is a losing game, for the people, and we want to change the game.
It is long past time to Uncap the House, and restore representation to the American people.
Well we at
@nocapfund
are here to change the ballgame.
Since 1929 Congressional apportionment has been a game of rearranging the same 435 seats in the house around like chairs on the Titanic.
Democrats: Meanies!
Are you tired of the Party cartels fighting over their own power, while you (Average citizen) see your own power squandered away?
Texas Republicans: We are going to gerrymander you so hard your head is going to hurt!
Democrats: That's Fascist!
Texas Republicans: Fascist? Have you seen the Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and California Maps? You guys do the exact same thing. We are just fighting your fire.
Oliver we love to hear your openness to uncapping the House. We need men like you in office. We would love to have you on our podcast. Let's work something out. intern@nocapfund.org

Roger, @lifelongskeptic.bsky.social, observes that when representation pools federally it has downstream ramifications throughout our system.
Expanding representation in Washington is vital, but citizens of individual states should demand representation in their state capitals as well.
If the head is sick everything below gets sick too. It's time to treat our national representation drain. Uncap the house, grow the represenative pool, and get back to the buisness of being the greatest country in the world.

Reforming the Republic? Building on the Founder' Vision
We do not need to be held hostage to bad government. We can build on the principles of the American founding. Stephen Kent is preaching now!
#NoCap #UncaptheHouse #Representation #Congress
Why do good legislators get burned out? The system is rigged against good government. But we are working to fix that. We must change the incentives if we want different outcomes.
Great point by Walter Clapp. Make sure to catch the whole conversation with Stephen Kent!
"Our age...inherited the Republic like some beautiful painting of bygone days, its colors already fading through great age; and not only has our time neglected to freshen the colors of the picture, but we have failed to preserve its form and outlines." -Cicero, De re publica

“Nothing in life is more important than the ability to communicate effectively.” -Gerald Ford
Today, Congress has 1 rep for every 760,000 people. That’s not communication, that’s dysfunction.
Uncap the House.
Rebuild the connection between Washington and Main Street.
Happy 112th birthday Jerry!
You wouldn’t build a team with 11 quarterbacks.
So why does Congress look like a room full of millionaires and lawyers?
A real team reflects real people.
We’re electing welders, teachers, farmers, nurses—not just elites.

Congress is like a restaurant where only the chefs choose the menu.
You’re the customer—but they never ask what you’re hungry for.
Representation means people who know your story have a say in the laws that affect your life.
Let’s fix the menu.

#NoCap #UncapTheHouse
The House was meant to grow with the people — not stay frozen while the nation expanded. Capping it in 1929 broke that promise. Real representation means a House that actually reflects America today. Time to fix it. #UncapTheHouse #RepresentationMatters
It's time to unite disparate voices calling for reform into 1 movement, because we are stronger together.
The key is to be having the right conversation. And that is more talk of actual representation in government.
It is YOUR House.
Start by signing the Declaration at why435.org!
Representation is crucial to American democracy, and so now is the time to speak up and make this message go viral. Great thoughts from Walter Clapp and Jeff Mayhugh!
