Gaines  (DIERSEN: What about political affiliation representation?  What about national origin representation?  What about age representation?  What about religious representation?  What about income/net worth representation?  What about etc. representation?  Germandering promotes segregation.  Where you live and where you have lived say more about you than anything that you can say about yourself.  What do you say to those who hate Christian, conservative, and/or Republican principles, but who hypocritically move to and stay in areas that are Christian, conservative, and/or Republican to take advantage of the safety and prosperity that Christian, conservative, and/or Republican values create?)
