Obama introduces new initiative in fight against gerrymandering
The Hill ^ | 08/26/19 | Justin Wise

Posted on 08/26/2019 5:35:50 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Former President Obama on Monday announced a new initiative in a campaign to combat partisan gerrymandering.

"Training is at the heart of organizing. It’s why I’ve always made it a priority – from my 2008 campaign until now," Obama said in a tweet announcing Redistricting U, part of the All on the Line campaign.

Redistricting U will send trainers throughout the country to offer free, in-person instruction and help to volunteers involved in the redistricting process in states.

According to the campaign's website, the initiative is being pushed to empower individuals to "be leaders in the movement for fair maps."

“The movement for fair maps will determine the course of progress on every issue we care about for the next decade," Obama said. "And we can’t wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021. We need to build this movement from the ground up – right now.”

The Affordable Care Act.

The Gun Safety Act.

The Committee Against Partisan Gerrymandering Act.

“....Everything else this traitor did was a lie....”
Yep...without a doubt. IF his lips are moving, he’s lying. It’s what all good RATs do.
Especially, this usurper.

There is no democracy in that party.

"...campaign to combat partisan gerrymandering."

Deception, Lying and Taqiyya

Does Islam permit Muslims to lie?

Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences" or "gain the upper-hand over an enemy"

Democrats never gerrymander and they can prove it. The new districts had nobody named Gerry involved in the process and it look nothing like a salamander, hence not a gerrymander.

District maps should be drawn from census figures with no racial, and without political registration, breakdown.
