Chuck Norris doesn't know anything about government...

Can we all agree that Chuck Norris should shut the hell up?

I believe just as we have one governor per state, we should consider reducing Congress to one representative and two senators per state (the minimum the Constitution requires). If one representative works for Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming, why can't it work for the rest of the states? Here's a movie we all can star in: "Honey, I Shrunk the Congress!"

Sure, because it's not enough that the less populated, conservative states have disproportionate representation in the Senate, they must also have unfair power in the House. Because this country will be so much better when the same number of Representatives represent the 626,932 people of Alaska as represent the 36,553,215 people who live in California. It's bad enough the Senate works this way but that was part of a compromise which gave us the House. If we destroy the House, we end up with the tyranny of the small states that we were trying to avoid.
