Dear Arkansas Legislature,

Just wanted to let you know that I am very opposed to HB 1836 which would place Fayetteville in the 4th Congressional District. At best it is ludicrous to expect the citizens of Arkansas to believe that this is not based on political gerrymandering. It does not seem to me that it will benefit Fayetteville or NWA at all.  While I do not own property in Washington County, my precious family does.  We do own property in Benton County, however, and know that this move is not in our best interests.  How is it reasonable to place a NWA district with a Southeast Arkansas district and expect it to unite?


  Shame on you!
