ShyOx 02/03/21 6:10:21 AM #2:	Well right now over 700,000 Americans have no representation in the senate. I dont think they have anyone in the house either. Meanwhile Wyoming gets two senators and has less people, and Oklahoma is over half Indian reservation but still gets two senators. Yes they absolutely should have representation. --- http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6938/vyqp.jpg DIPLOMACY <cite>ShyOx posted [p:950226585] in Should Was...

Exactly, hence why would we make it apart of Maryland when neither parties want that? I mean we already have other tiny states like Rhode Island. --- http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6938/vyqp.jpg DIPLOMACY <cite>ShyOx posted [p:950228100] in Should Was...
