Tell your congressman or congresswoman or senator from your state or district about MMP and DMP and we will together make our government serving us once again. We The People!

You should make a video about the penal system and a video about the death penalty.

Nice video! But I say, Single Transferable Vote is a far much better Proportional Representation system than Mixed Member Proportional Representation! Unlike MMP, STV is 100% candidate based and nonpartisan and is the probably the only Proportional Representation system that is Constitutional in the United States 🇺🇲. Single Transferable Vote is the way to do it for elections for the United States House of Representatives. Now the thing about the Senate is that along with only two Senators in each State, Article 1 Section 3 Clause 2 of the United States Constitution says that Senators "shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year". So it unfortunately may not be Constitutional to make the Senate Proportional. I'd love to do that, but I don't think we can right now. We shouldn't abolish the Senate because bicameral legislatures offer more checks and balances than unicameral legislatures. I think for now keep the United States Senate the way it is but use Instant Runoff Voting to elect Senators.
