Why everyone deserves someone who will fight for them
In a nation of 330 million people with countless different backgrounds, beliefs, and priorities, shouldn't you be able to vote for someone who actually represents your values?
How many times have you voted not FOR a candidate, but AGAINST another? Real choice means voting for someone you believe in - someone whose positions match yours, not just come closest.
Your combination of beliefs is yours alone. Maybe you're fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Maybe you prioritize local issues over national ones. You deserve representation that reflects YOU.
When voters have real choices, representatives work harder to earn their support. Competition makes democracy stronger, just like it strengthens every other part of American life.
With more choices, elections become about ideas and solutions rather than party loyalty. Representatives succeed by proposing policies that work, not by attacking the other side.
Every American, regardless of their political beliefs
In liberal areas, conservatives often have no voice. With proportional representation, significant conservative minorities would still elect representatives who share their values.
In conservative areas, progressives face the same problem. Real choice means progressive voters in Texas or Alabama would have representatives fighting for their priorities too.
The largest growing group of voters are independents who don't align with either major party. Real choice finally gives them candidates who represent their mix of views.
Communities that are minorities in their geographic area can still elect representatives. Your neighborhood's dominant politics don't have to silence your voice.
When Congress better reflects the full diversity of American thought, better solutions emerge. Compromise becomes possible. Government works for everyone.
"Everyone deserves someone in government who will fight for them and their beliefs."
This is the core promise of the 28th Amendment. Not special treatment for any group - just genuine representation for all Americans.
