The founders of our country are much in the news of late.  Even the Federalist Papers are getting lots of air time.  Let's remind ourselves that our founders tried to solve the challenge and threat of faction by encouraging a diversity of interests and views in our republic.  But gerrymandered safe districts run entirely counter to the intent and design of Hamilton, Madison and the other members of our founding generation.  We need to face this problem using their wisdom, consult their reasoning, and take a hard look at the risks if we don't take care of the threat of gerrymandering.
