The Electoral College under Attack....Soros Pushing for National Popular Vote
How many of you remember hearing Hillary Clinton, back in 2000 saying we needed to get rid of the Electoral College System? If not, here is the story link:

br/>A once-sleepy movement that would upend the Electoral College, reverse two centuries of constitutional practice and elect presidents by direct popular vote has quietly picked up momentum in recent days, with Republican Party leaders scrambling to stanch a steady stream of defections by GOP state lawmakers to the plan.
Shawn Steel, a former chairman of the California Republican Party, is so worried by the support building for the so-called “National Popular Vote Compact” that he is organizing an effort to put the Republican National Committee on record against the idea at its August meeting in Tampa, Fla.
“This is a very clever idea that bypasses the orderly process of amending the Constitution,” said Mr. Steel, who is now an RNC member from California. “It’s an extraordinarily radical idea, and we need to get some rollback going.”
I strongly urge you finish reading this article here
Some of you reading this may be sitting there saying, "Well, it's not in the Constitution." You would be correct in saying that the "Electoral College" is not in the Constitution, BUT it does talk about Electors. Article 1, Section 2 states:
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice-President chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

Soros and his son Johnny are bankrolling the national popular vote attack on the Constitution.
More of this article here
In 2008, Jonathon Soros wrote in a Wall Street Journal article that "the Constitution is no longer in line with our expectations regarding the role of the people in selecting the President." In this same article Jonathon points out that 4 States have already enacted the National Vote Compact.
P.S
Mr. Soros is the deputy chairman of Soros Fund Management
What 4 states are those? Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois and Hawaii.
So, what is the National Popular Vote Compact?
By clicking the following link, it will take you to the website of the National Popular Vote.
Once there, take a look around the site. I guarantee you, you will be surprised at who all and what states are on board with this. Fred Thompson, yes, THE Fred Thompson, has thrown his support
behind this.
This next link will take you the page that explains the bill.
So, My Fellow Patriots,
What are we to do? Check to see if YOUR state has signed onto this. If they have then I would start
writing the State Legislature urging them to rethink their position, if not then a letter urging them not to sign onto this would be great. This is just another attempt by Socialists to remain in control of our Governments at the Local (your town), State and Federal Levels.
