***Campaign for a National Popular Vote***

Thanks for spotlighting this! I hadn't heard that it was still being pushed.

I used to have coffee mornings with a group of veteran retirees - mostly FDR Dems. When I told them that they had no Constitutional right to vote for President they were dumbfounded. People are so uninformed. They tried to object that the evidence was overwhelmingly in favor of a popularly elected Prez.

I responded 'Yes... because each state constitution calls for a group of electors to be selected by popular vote. This was, of course, the big lie in the 2000 election fight here in Florida. In truth, the Fla Legislature could have named a group of electors perfectly Constitutionally at any time... but, as usual, the 'Rats tried to get their corrupt judges to do their dirty work. The U.S. Supreme Court had to back the Fla Legislature because the US Constitution says that those legislatures will singularly determine how to select a group of electors.

This move to eliminate the Electoral College signals the death knell of the Republic if it succeeds; sparsely populated states will not see any campaigning, and they need not take the time from work or drinking or whatever to cast their vote... the big cities will determine the Prez from then on.

It is worth noting that the small states [at that time Rhode Island, Delaware, etc.] would not have ratified the Constitution without the Electoral College... they knew that their populace would have no say in choosing the federal executive and that the 'big' states would dictate to the smaller states against their will or power to do anything about it.

Socialists / Communists always want a 'democracy' so that the mob will rule... all socialist states have called themselves 'democratic republics'... and, of course, the 'mob' is whoever has the biggest stick.

The Democrap Party has been successfully overthrowing the Constitution for over fifty years. We must not let them continue... and their judges should be impeached. They legalize treason, corruption, elitism, infanticide, pornography ... well, name your poison and the Democraps are in favor of it. Look just this week how they attack Cong. Peter King for trying to find out about militancy in America's mosques, to try to stop the wanton killing of Americans from within... same party that opposes saving the Union from financial ruin.

I simply cannot understand why anyone who gives a flip about the US can vote for 'Rats.
