Lew Rockwell
Please listen to Lew Rockwell’s 10-minute interview of Dr. Mark Thornton:
http://www.lewrockwell.com/podcast/?p=episode&name=2008-11-16_069_the_case_for_bigger_government.mp3 (Nov 16, 2008)
Dr. Thornton has written two papers providing empirical evidence that total governmental expenditures decrease as the number of representatives increases. In the interview, they discuss some of the arguments for increasing the number of federal Representatives.

Walter Williams wrote a brief article about the need to enlarge our federal representation:

In his syndicated article, "Political Monopoly Power", Dr. Williams observes that "restricting the number of representatives confers significant monopoly power that goes a long way toward explaining the stranglehold the two parties have and the high incumbent success rates. It might also explain the power of vested interest groups to influence congressional decisions."
