ELECTORAL COLLEGE: Yes I know, this is covered by the Constitution, but we must change the
use of the so-called Electoral College, to elect our Presidents, in today’s world we must let the VOTERS
directly elect our president.
The
so-called story was that this gives even small states an equal voice in the
election is fraud. If that were so then each state would have an equal number
of Electoral Votes, this is not so. Larger states still have more votes. We are
not voting for states, we are voting, as a nation, for the President for all of
us, in all the states.
California has 54 electoral votes, RI has 2 votes how
is that equal representation?
In the election in 2000, about 50,000 votes of our Military Service Persons were
reportedly “not counted”, because they didn’t arrive with a “Post-Mark” from overseas, what a
disgrace for those serving “Our country,
out of the country”. Thanks to the
Florida Republicans, for that stunt
Oh! Did I forget to mention,
George Bush was running for President, and his brother was the governor of
Florida!
Most of the average citizens at the time of the
Revolution really were not knowledgeable about voting, and being a free
society, so the planners of the new United States really wanted to protect
their advantage of keeping this just their way
The whole idea in “1787”, was to make sure only the “Correct” person was finally selected by
the “Political Leaders”,
and not by the unsophisticated
individual citizens.
Demand that “your” vote has an equal count
in the election.
Royalty selected rulers in Europe. The rich in America started
the Revolution. In 1787 we were then controlled by the rich who of course knew
who would be the “proper” President.
Money has always decided who
would be President It’s time to change that.
Now I’ll admit the Constitution is a very complex really
thought out document with a lot of legal thought involved, Thomas Jefferson was
a very intelligent person, and he tried to add all contingencies he thought
were important at that time. Fortunately adding the Bill of Rights later gave
us a document that could grow with the citizens needs.
At the
start of our new nation, “only Landowners” were allowed to vote, limiting
by “financial status,” those who were allowed the luxury of voting to elect our
government rulers. We have had to fight all these years to get the right for
ALL citizens to have the right to vote, use that “right”,
VOTE for me. It took us until 1963 to get voting rights
for all citizens in the United States.
Some of
our citizens are still cheated out of having their vote count. Lets change
that, limit voting to US citizens ONLY, in English. No ballots in other languages.
It took us until 1920 to give women the right to
vote; now lets include only but, all "legal citizens".
