Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
A Candidate for RNC Chair and His Anti-Constitutional Ideas
If nothing else, the 2010 elections were about a renaissance of the United States Constitution. The constitutional restraints on the power of government are en vogue. A resurgent GOP has claimed the document as a unifying rallying cry. This is why it is so curious that one of the leading candidates for Republican National Committee chair has fought for one of the most anti-constitutional ideas of the last half-century.
Saul Anuzis, former chair of the Michigan Republican Party, has aggressively championed the National Popular Vote movement. If you don’t know what that is, count your blessings. The National Popular Vote movement is a frontal assault on one of the most important parts of the Constitution — the method we use to elect the president.
The National Popular Vote movement would have states allocate their Electoral College votes to whichever candidate wins the nationwide popular vote. For example, South Carolina would have thrown their electoral votes in 2008 to Barack Obama even though McCain handily won the state.
It is a peculiar idea for a candidate for RNC chair to champion.

Great info, so many don't understand about the Electoral votes. I guess they don't teach it in school any more.
I tell folks, "Where do we have the most problems??, In the big cities!! Where are the most people?? In the big cities!! Do you want them to decide every election???" I know thats on a 1st grade level, but it makes the point.
The Leaders that started our country knew what they were doing and we better fight to keep the Electoral College.

Agree 100% to Kay Durdens response.
Our Fore Fathers over 200 years ago, had the "God Given Wisdom" to see down through the years, to this very issue of Heavily Populated States having the most 'Say So' in the Election results.
Therefore they instituted the Electoral College.
Large Agrigultural States with vast acres of land, providing Meat and Food for America, do not have great numbers of people, and yet their views are very different from Big City Dwellers, and need to be heard and counted in the final taly.
Again, we do need to hold to these principles given in the Constitution, and fight to maintain this important balance in electing the President and Vice President.
Oppose those who want to Change it anywhere they raise the issue.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
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...…
