Ping your lists and alert everyone as to the latest angle the ‘RATS are up to in Florida:
I’m on Hillary Clinton’s mailing list and just received an email from her “organization” today telling me to contact my Florida state legislators and tell them to “support the National Popular Vote” . Of course, this has to do with doing away with the Electoral College. I’ve copied and pasted her email below for your information.
Warn everyone you know about what the DemocRATS have up their sleeve before the next election. Here’s some ammo for our argument against them:
William Kimberling, Deputy Director of the Federal Election Commission, wrote a very interesting treatise on the Electoral College, that includes lots of great historical information and anecdotes about the College. The document can be found on the FEC’s web site in Adobe Acrobat format. http://www.fec.gov/pdf/eleccoll.pdf Scroll a little more than 1/2 way down the page to read “Pros and Cons of the Electoral College” Excerpt from ‘Conclusion’: “Preserving the Electoral College maintains a Federal System of Government.”

Constitutional Topic: The Electoral College
http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_elec.html
The Electoral College is embodied in the Constitution in Article 2, Section 1, and in the 12th Amendment.
The Framers were wary of giving the people the power to directly elect the President some felt the citizenry too beholden to local interests, too easily duped by promises or shenanigans, or simply because a national election, in the time of oil lamps and quill pens, was just impractical. Some proposals gave the power to the Congress, but this did not sit well with those who wanted to see true separation of the branches of the new government. Still others felt the state legislatures should decide, but this was thought to make the President too beholden to state interests. The Electoral College, proposed by James Wilson, was the compromise that the Constitutional Convention reached.

Here is the email I got from Hillary Clinton:
National Popular Vote
You are receiving this message as a member of HillaryClinton.com’s online community. Please take a moment to read this special message from the Florida Campaign for a National Popular Vote. The Florida Campaign for a National Popular Vote is solely responsible for the content of this message.
Your action NOW can make the difference because the Florida Legislature is currently considering the National Popular Vote bill to reform the Electoral College.
Under the National Popular Vote bill, the presidential candidate who gets the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC will become President.
Please take a moment to e-mail your state legislators and urge them to support the National Popular Vote bill.
Because electoral votes are currently awarded to the candidate who gets the most popular votes inside each separate state, the second-place candidate has won the Presidency in 4 of our nation’s 56 presidential elections. This is a 1 in 14 failure rate.
The states have the constitutional authority to change the method of awarding electoral votes so as to establish a national popular vote for President. The National Popular Vote bill has already been enacted into law by Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington state, and the District of Columbia. The bill has also been approved by at least one legislative house in another 15 states, and it recently passed the New York Senate 52-7. The bill has been endorsed by 2,011 state legislators around the country.
If you believe that the candidate who gets the most popular votes should win the White House, please take a moment to e-mail your state legislators and urge them to support the National Popular Vote bill.
The National Popular Vote bill is endorsed by Common Cause, FairVote, League of Women Voters, Sierra Club, NAACP, National Black Caucus of State Legislators, ACLU, the National Latino Congreso, Asian American Action Fund, DEMOS, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, Public Citizen, U.S. PIRG, the Brennan Center for Justice, and Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.
The bill has been endorsed by newspapers such as The New York Times, Boston Globe, Chicago Sun-Times, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Hartford Courant, Sacramento Bee, and many more.
As the Sarasota Florida Herald Tribune said: “The most compelling and practical alternative is promoted by a bipartisan group called National Popular Vote. The NPV proposal calls for legislatures to pass bills committing their state’s electoral votes to the candidate who receives the most popular votes nationwide; the bill would take effect only when enacted by states that together have enough electoral votes to elect a president.”

YOUR RACE CARD IS DENIED!
Classic! May G-d Bless ALL of YOU!
What a great time we had yesterday. Was a busy day which started with me testifying at the FL House Committee Hearing on the Education Bill. The bill did pass through committee and goes to the full House sometime this coming week. The Senate version passed. :)
We had great speakers and super great music from Michael and his band of patriots from Miami. Love you guys and your music too! Awesome! And anyone who was there felt the same way, I am sure!
Great pictures, AnyStreetFL! Any you caught that real windy look when that cold front moved into Tallahassee! :) Kind of cool here in St.Pete tonight too! But our great Sunshine State always comes back with warmer weather. Heard tomorrow will get up to 80.:)
We Florida Freepers have some events coming up and FL political news updates so check our FR Floridda Board for announcements.
Thanks for the update. I work 1 mile from the capital but couldn’t get off for the day. Thanks for what u do! Love ya,
Florida is rockin! Hope you are well JimRob. Floridians are keeping you in our thoughts. We are on different sides of the country but your energy is keeping us optimistic and hopeful. Be good to yourself and god bless. :o) Go FR!!!
WOW Leesburg, we have friends there and go there every now and again t visit
great report
but but but the media said the tea party does not like black people
ARF
Guess they can't take the fact that there are so many Conservatives of every color. One of our wonderful speakers at the event yesterday was Frantz Kebreau, Director of NAACPC = “National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of all Colors”.

Florida Freeper, Lloyd Marcus, is President of NAACPC.
Thinking the “old lady” they find scary is me, and the old man my sweetheart husband. Perhaps they might like to know that this “old lady” taught Kindergarten children for 43 years and never scared a single child. :) Not to worry, we are sure it is not the only time we will have Obama lovers call us names. All our black friends who are Conservatives have a lot worse name calling thrown at them from Libs all the time. The name callers are following Obama’s behavior so what else can we expect?
they’re clueless, They have one idiot saying black people were just hanging around, another said they were rented another said no blacks had signs, er I saw some with signs like the race card sign.
They really are dumb and cannot understand as to why people would want lower taxes and not be in debt
LOL Another said that they have fond no proof yet they’;re paid, well that’s because we’re not but facts and evidence for the thick loons will never get it.
Another said they had their sign stake back the country but this woman is asking.
Maybe she has manners and class unlike those thick idiots
We try to get over to Leesburg when we can. Love the area and thinking of moving there to be closer to family. Folks often move closer to family when up in age, and that is where my sweetie and me are. :)
It wasn’t Lloyd, who is the president of NAACPC, it was Frantz Emmanuel Kebreau, the national director :)
