I was a Founding Father, Governor & Vice President. But today people only remember me for 'Gerrymandering.' Not cool. Let's #EndGerrymandering!

To mark my 275th birthday, here now is the worldwide premiere of "#Gerrymandering! The Musical." It's the story of a lovable Founding Father who lost his way, but who's now fighting for #fairMaps and to reclaim his weird name. Enjoy. 🎶😔🎵 #GerryBDay

On this day in 1812, some wiseguy cartoonist in Boston threw my name together with a salamander and coined the term "#Gerrymandering," turning me into a 19th-century meme of shame.😩

It's Festivus & here's my Airing of Grievances: I gerrymandered ONE time – 212 years ago. I've been dead 210 years. So how bout stop blaming ME for the fact that YOU future Americans STILL let politicians draw their own districts?! Get it together, people!😡

My scary story: On a dark & stormy night in 1812, I unleashed the horrible "GerryMander" Monster – half Gerry, half salamander – all EVIL! Two centuries later, I'm still haunted by that vile serpentine creature that devours our democracy!😱🐉 #Halloween2024🎃

When I "invented" #gerrymandering 212 years ago, we used a goose feather & our best guesses to draw unfair voting maps. Today, politicians use software & satellites to manipulate your voting districts. How is this STILL a thing?! 🤔#ThursdayThoughts #fairMaps

When you're a Founding Father who did lots of cool stuff (like help make America), but for 200 years everyone blames you for "ruining democracy" by inventing #gerrymandering, sometimes you just gotta dance out your feelings...🕺 #FridayFeeling #FridayVibes

On this day in 1775, the Continental Congress appointed Ben Franklin as Postmaster General with an annual salary of $1,000 – or as we called it back then, "wig money."

As I close out my 280th birthday, here's a replay of "Gerrymandering! The Musical🎶," a sad tale of how I went from hero to zero by #gerrymandering. My birthday wish: end gerrymandering so I can repair my rep & you can have a healthy democracy! #GerryBDay🎂

As I get ready to turn 280 years young on July 17, just a word of advice: Live your life in such a way that if your name becomes a verb, you won't be ashamed by its definition (see: #Gerrymandering🐉😩) #ThursdayThoughts #GerryBDay🎂
