Electoral College at Risk

Seems the electoral college is a liberal [sic] threat.  National Popular Vote an UNpopular move.

From Eagle Forum:

The EC represents the genius of our Founding Fathers and it was part of the
great compromise which transformed us from 13 rival colonies into a
constitutional republic.

· This great compromise gave us a Congress consisting of the Senate based on
equal representation of the states and the House based on population. The
EC is the mirror image of this compromise and allows all states to be players
in the process of electing our President.
· The EC is the vehicle that gives us a President who achieves a majority in a
functioning political process.
· Without the EC, we would always be saddled with minority Presidents
without an adequate basis of support for leadership.
· The EC ensures that no single faction or issue can elect a president because
he must win many diverse states to be elected.
Conclusions:
· This campaign effort is likely just the beginning of an effort to bring national
government under the control of large and liberal states.
· The abolition of the EC contradicts our constitutional republic’s state and
federal government sharing of powers.
· Choosing presidents is one of our states’ powers, and we should not remove it
to begin a centralized national American government

National Popular Vote Bill attacks U.S. Constitution - Take Action

The National Popular Vote Bill was circulated for cosponsorship today. 

This is a direct attack on our U.S. Constitution.  Long story short it would change the way we elect our President.  It would create a situation in which a President could be elected with only 20% of the voting population instead of the current 51%.  If there are 20 candidates running for president the winner would only need a majority (which could be 20% or less depending on how the votes are split up) in order to win.  The candidates would only need to focus on the high populous areas in order to win, creating a VERY slanted playing field.  How would you like CA, FL and NY being the biggest players in deciding who our President would be?  For more information and talking points, click here.


 Contact your WI State Legislators immediately and tell them NOT to support the National Popular Vote Bill.


NOTE - CORRECTION:  It would create a situation in which a President could be elected with only 20% of the voting population instead of the current 51% of the electoral college.
