Wednesday Vent
Get the dialing fingers ready (does anybody really dial anymore?)... We'll open up the phone lines for a good old-fashioned vent on some of the major issues of the day. No guest, no Q and A, just a couple of topics of note in the news, and your phone calls and emails. Call us around the region at 1-800-838-3760, in the Medford-Ashland area at 541-552-6782, and by email at jx@jeffnet.org. If the response to this Wednesday Vent is good, we'll consider making the segment a regular feature of the program.

I hope the response was good. I would like to vent about something that needs to be addressed. Namely, Public Law 62-5, which limited the number of congressional districts to the number of representatives each state was entitled to in Congress on Aug 8th of 1911. Since then the population has exponentially exploded. More importantly, the US has a dysfunctional electoral college, because it must be at least equal in size to Congress. There are 435 for the number of representatives, 100 for the number of Senators, and three more for DC. Thats 538 electors for a population of over 300 million. The importance of the electoral college has been overshadowed by partisanship and the illpolitik that plagues the Union. An electorial college serves as the common link between the governed and governed. It is curcial to a republican form government. Unfortunately, too many fellow citizens I meet on a daily basis are econically oppressed; they have too little time to think about any thing other than making ends meet, or dealing with a pregnant 15 year old, or a son in the military, or an IRS audit. I find it very sad that a lot of people who work for the US Government are constitutional ignorant, morally vague, and spiritually confused. This country is in dire need of a constitutional renaissance.
