Join Heritage Foundation for an online event this coming Friday, October 28th at noon. Free to all.
The National Popular Vote Plan is an initiative to effectively abolish the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment. A number of state legislatures have already adopted an agreement in which participating states would allocate their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, rather than the winner of the popular vote in their state. The agreement would go into effect when states with a total of more than the 270 electoral votes (the number required to win a presidential election) have adopted the agreement.
Is this agreement an interstate compact that requires the approval of Congress? Is it an attempt to avoid having to pass a constitutional amendment to get rid of the Electoral College? What were the original purposes of the Electoral College and are they still relevant today? What effect would such a system of electing the president have on our election process?
Discussing this issue will be the director of constitutional studies at the Freedom Foundation, as well as a former member of the Federal Election Commission and Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Justice Department. It will be hosted by Edwin Meese III, former Attorney General of the United States.

This way we can just get ACORN (or whatever they call themselves now) to just "appoint" our government. I hope the rest of the TEA parties around the country are on this atrocity in in the making. WE ALL need to forward this story to everybody in our state government as well as everybody in our email list as well as those in other states.
That's what I am doing NOW.

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
