DO NOT avoid the truth.... Obama's staff (cabinet) is full of folks from WALL STREET INCLUDING GOLDMAN SACHS -- The "Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010″, SUPPORTED by President Barack Obama, expand bailout authority for the federal government.

These bills provide a back door bailout of Wall Street. THE LINK BETWEEN -----THE BAILOUTS AND DC -GOES TO THE WHITEHOUSE, OUR LEADER  SIGNED THE BILL TO OK & FUND, THE BONUSES/BAILOUTS..

TOO FEW OWS UNDERSTAND THAT SIMPLE LINK!

@6852033 Hello disgruntled white person, we would like for you to know that your racism is all too obvious. you should be thanking President Obama for saving your sorry ass economy. No offense to non racist whites, it isint that all whites think like you or are racist, its just that the ONLY people who think like you just happen to be white.. and possibly Racist.

what is happening now with this

@elohim4hire No, it wouldn't. The electoral college does nothing for states' rights. It only distorts the will of the electorate.

(concluded) Voting would end when a field of that size got a percentage of the nominating votes also so determined, preferably 90 percent. This field would form the ballot for the election. The highest vote-getter would be president and the second, vice president."

[cpklapper]

"I propose a college formed of nominators elected popularly in each congressional district, plus two for each state chosen as per state constitution, with a suitable arrangement for the District of Columbia. The nominators would meet in Washington to choose, with one vote each, a field of candidates for president, with a size determined constitutionally, preferably five. (cont.)

You should check out my proposal, from a April 11, 2007 letter to the Editor of The Washington Post, for a Nominator College to replace the party primaries.

@RobertDavidSteele You've got my full support! The 2000 election, the corporate takeover of the electoral process, and people's dissatisfaction over the Republican field and congress- it all lays the groundwork for electoral reform. First-past-the-post stagnates our democracy- it allows the people in power to control elections. And what exactly is the objection to approval-based voting? I really can't think of one.

Maybe you should give that URL another go though. No spaces.

While some of his proposal seems legit the demand for the 'Abolishment of the Electoral College' would be last nail in the coffin of State's Rights. That alone would undo any advance made if all his other provisions were enacted.

UPDATE: The Reform Party has accepted my candidacy and I am in full bore mode for December, registered with the FEC, bought the URLs for BigBatUSA, hiring a campaign manager, hiring a CPA to be treasurer, and starting to gin up both modest contributions (IndieGoGo) while I work on the December program to confront every Representative while they are home with their own constituents demanding Electoral Reform Pledge.

@sssatrunnn I'm not sure if you actually watched the video, but his electoral reform idea is how we eliminate the two party and gain public interest in politics.
