Yes, next year is an election year but we still have to fight for reform. And please, someone correct me here, but aren't senate elections every 2 years  |
A census might lead to the reapportionment and re-drawing of district lines for House reps.
If a congressman's new district has a bigger population of vocal immigrants, then he/she is more likely to support DA or CIR or both. That's how the census could help.
Yes, Senate AND House elections are every two years. Congressional elections, they're called. We had one in 2008, and we're having another one in 2010.
Is it not true that as the election day nears, that these Congressmen and Senators are going to be passing as many legislations as they can?
