Hello Governor, Attorney General, State Senators, and Delegates,
I just want to state for the record now that, though unfortunately it doesn't surprise me in the least, I think this (see below) is the sort of thing we simply should not tolerate any longer. I shall encourage my legion grassroots friends (and even those who are not) to keep a very close eye on this process.
Since when is it the business of the state's congressmen to "approve" of how we make up their districts and how they get re-elected? We are NOT here to protect and serve them! They are there to serve and represent us. It is time for distorted district lines drawn by cronyism and strict party considerations to end, and focus on contiguous geographic areas where the people of a region have common interests…not common skin color. These foxes have no business guarding our hen houses, and it must stop. To have to argue that the congressional delegation should not be participating whatsoever in how they get re-elected is to belabor the ethically obvious.
Members of the General Assembly should ONLY be "consulting" with their constituents and each other in this matter, and not the Congressmen. The ethical offensiveness of this should be blatantly self-evident to all who possess any discernable sense of propriety. General Assembly members are to represent us, and NOT the personal nor political interests of the congressional delegation.
I urge you all to proceed on this re-districting out in the open where we can all see every bit of what's going on.
With respect,

Report: Congressmen Cut Redistricting Deal
As the Governor's Redistricting Commission was gathering ideas from citizens in Roanoke, Politico.com reported Monday that the state's 11-member congressional delegation has agreed to a plan designed to protect their seats.
The General Assembly must approve the district boundaries, but in the past has deferred to the state's delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives. Politico.com reported that all 11 congressmen agreed to the plan.
