Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - On the American Conservative website, Gary L. Gregg wrote an article entitled "Unpopular Vote" which details how the Electoral College is the last hope of the Founders Vision... and he's right. You can't have a simple, popular vote, because the candidates would just be campaigning in the 10 largest cities in the country... New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, etc... Would they even bother visiting states like Montana, Wyoming, or Ohio (maybe Cleveland but that's it). Each state must get it's vote in the election and the Electoral College ensures that. For more on the Electoral College, the upcoming Election Day, how becoming President in the good ole US of A is a one way trip to wealth and power, be sure and check out today's Founders TV.

indeed, the reasons for the electoral college today are the exact same reasons we have it in the first place. how about our union of states, or better...how about secession?
the US might as well break up into 3 or 4 (or more) countries, as people seem to have significant differences on te way they view government. why force 310 million diverse human beings into such conformity? Ill tell you why: the crook sin Mordor in the Potomac know they sit at the levers of power of the most powerful state in the history of the world!
Men are too fallible to be given the economic and military power associated with our modern superstate. AFter Vietnam, the politicians learned to conceal the carnage from the people, as much as possible (who knows how many have really been killed since 2001). With drones (talk about terror), they can now kill people all around this small globe without threat to life and limb. Dont cry, America, when foreigners strike out against your foreign servicemen- it's the only operatives that the "terrorists" can reach out and touch
I know you can come up with a clever add-on to go with it, to make it more marketable, Mike.
I would buy one of those "ELECTORAL COLLEGE" Sweatshirts, how about you!? (John Belushi cutout sold separately)
