With little fanfare and nearly no national media attention, the National Popular Vote effort is now 61 percent of the way toward its goal of legally bypassing the Electoral College established in the U.S. Constitution.
The NPV campaign seeks to obtain the consent of the majority of the 538 votes in the Electoral College to award electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote instead of the winner of the popular vote in each state.
The group, the Center for Voting and Democracy, received original seed money in 1997 from the Joyce Foundation, a nonprofit that boasted President Obama served on its board at the time of the grant. Obama was a board member from July 1994 until December 2002.
The NPV is run by individuals with a history of support for the Democratic Party, KleinOnline found.
It is partnered with FairVote, a project of the Soros-funded Center for Voting and Democracy that advocates for a national popular vote for president.
Soros Open Society Institute funds the Center for Voting and Democracy, where FairVote is based.
The centers website notes the group was kick-started in 1997 with two grants one from the Open Society and another from the Joyce Foundation.
With Obama on its board, the Joyce Foundation also funded the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation; the AFL-CIO Working for America Institute; the National Council of La Raza and Physicians for Social Responsibility, among numerous radical groups.
Meanwhile, the NPV leadership is comprised of Democratic Party supporters.

Here is the deal as I see it. As the dollar collapses there will be a window, most probably a short time when metals will become the currency of choice no matter what the government tries to do to stop it. If it works as I envision it, it my be possible to pick up land dirt cheap with metals. That is my long term plan.
I have already stocked most of the things you mention and have for the last several years, actually started before O became president. For barter the things you mention will work over the long haul, for a higher value purchase like land in the butt end of nowhere metals I believe will have their place briefly. After that window closes when people realize you can’t eat the stuff I hope to have purchased what I need.
We will just have to see how it works out.
And .. the dems are still mad at Rubio because he took up with Ted Cruz and Ted set Rubio straight.
And .. the dems wanted to use Rubio SO THEY COULD BLAME THE WHOLE IMMIGRATION ISSUE AND IT’S RESULTING PROBLEMS ON THE REPUBS.
You see how that works .. thank goodness for Cruz who turned the whole thing around.
