The Reform we have waited for... a simple recommendation: 64 Stars

Much talk of reform. From time-to-time, these United States of America reform her boundaries to reflect Census Data.

Now we have movements like Black Lives Matter that have with the help of simultaneous technology, finally, driven home the nature of visual and systemic racist systems....  People long for environmental justice, social equity, gender meritocracy, and the lists grow.  People hunger for reform and empowerment.

Much talk of Electoral College Reform, again, again, again and again.

At the heels of Fivethirtyeight.com’s article on the obscure, yet highly relevant article, (relink to follow?) I found time during the lockdown to put forth this long-discussed proposition raft, as an whole-set argument.

But something millions have been working for generation after generation, that will instantly transform and improve our GDP, reform our elections, including the Electoral College, redistribute state power, reward success, restore local control, and restructure the USA for the long-term future once all the 2020 Census data is collected and processed; Territorial Reorganization.

We will need a lot of changes and reform, and one of the most radical things the US can do from time to time is make adjustments to the States, Territories and her Commonwealth after a census.

Rather than outlaw the Electoral College: consider the census, even the whole thing, everything, back out, and allow for the commonsense of the lessons from the trials and travails from the European Duchy System (Symbolized by the College) that held outside regional nobles to check central powers of the Crown in order to protect remote, novel, unique, rural and essential domestic production resources from mismanagement.

There is a great chart that graphically demonstrates the even distribution of State Lines defined by population limited to 50 states and 100 Senators.  Keeping just fifty states defies precedent, but is a great Thought Exercise, and Colorado would gladly triple in size, but this is pure theory upsetting all boundaries.

So, maybe that’s not the way to go?

How about allowing each and any state to be able to reorganize with the assistance and coordination of the Federal Republic, so as to be ready to address the distribution, health and other governmental weaknesses this pandemic disaster has exposed in our Society to be more oriented to bioregional ecology— welfare, health, economy and environment—in order to prepare for the 22^ndand maybe even the groundwork for the 23^rdCentury?

Your Development Plan: Fourteen New Stars, and Sixteen new Governments.

Aside from having to reprint all but everything, thus adding to growth.... the Census Adjustments will add jobs! This will give us plenty of lawful work to do, including reforming the Peace Officers and how to enforce social policy equitably. Recentralization of powers will improve accountability barring all other reforms.

GDP will expand simply by the ordinary operations of governments that properly develop their regions in order to become more evenly represented.  But Also, inclusion and realization of our Commonwealth and Territories will literally expand our GNP, geometrically.  28% more States will expand growth of our National Economy by the back of the napkin to the tune of 14% additionally over say a ten-year transitioning, synergies aside.

If all 64 States are suddenly together adopted and approved, hypothetically, then it requires:

Same Number of Electors of the College evenly redistributed.

Same Number of Representatives evenly redistributed.

Expand to 128 Senators and the VP as President of the Senate for a Vote of 129.

Probably expand Supreme Court by two positions to include the incorporation of Far Western Pacific and Caribbean Law Justices.

Boundaries and Counties to become reformed to prioritize and contain bioregions and metro regions, not gerrymandered or arbitrarily bounded.  Ideally, each region will fall initially within the guidelines of population thresholds, so as to have even and balanced (containing similar populous, zip codes, area codes, and other measurable volumes) constituencies from Municipality, State to Federal adjustments.

Zip Codes will then accordingly be redistributed to match postal coverage; Phone Codes will then accordingly be assigned to these boundaries; and Municipalities will make their adjustments.

64 Stars will be put onto Old Glory in an 8 by 8 column and row, and maybe we can turn our Flags around and stop the adventurous wars to continue to build America lawfully and enfranchise peaceful democratic process.

And 64 Governments with 16 to 18 new Constitutions will expand: opportunity; the living experiment of Liberty, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness; and the Gross Domestic Product of our beloved United States of America, just as is found as precedent throughout our history.

Commerce to develop this expansion of infrastructure and improvement of resources will make Opportunity explode!

Texas Republic, which has had the five-state solution on the books since the 19^thcentury, will get four times as much representation in Washington, CB. 

So too, CA triplet and all the other, necessary splits will gain improved representation inside the USA capitol.  

Ultimately, this would need to become accepted and approved by the People and their Representatives in government, so the names, boundaries and all details are to be discussed, and yet determined.

By small state-ing the power blocks into population and territorial similars, fair representation in exchange for taxation collected in the State of Colombia is ensured... for another ten years.

By folding the many and wide island nations and their associated resources into our Great Nation, we recognize the many and long sacrifices of the millions who have loved this nation as their own, but we may also become more and better prepared to finally provide the governmental and financial resources those peoples have so long sought.  Also, we will need to greatly expand our Marine infrastructure, and take better responsibility for our Maritime leadership, including environmental.

By allowing the WV annexation we make the small adjustments to the disproportionately powerful states like Pennsylvania, Virginia and Kentucky also granting their more remote peoples a more direct Capitol.

The long-considered division of Old Washingtonia, into Washington and Lincoln has also long been discussed.  When we empower a new state Capitol, like this proposal for Spokane, a permanent Federal stimulus to that area is assured.  More even distribution of resources, like health care, unemployment benefits, and other government features will flow freely from that local and more immediate power center.

Remember that Jefferson the human participated, encouraged an organized revolution specifically from within the scope, intrepreneurially so to speak, by voting, of our nation’s Constitution and posted Bill of Rights, not without it, every generation!

By expanding the number of governments, we expand the number of opportunities for the people to become directly involved in the management and stewardship of their surrounds as servants of the people!  Let us continue to expand the opportunity that comes with Democracy!!
