If anyone is interested and thinks this is as important as the abolishment of electronic machines, please see my post in link above, and chime in. it's an issue that crosses over the third party spoiler problem and I wrote it in that context. if that is, you are amenable..

1. I'll take ....

Abolishing the Electoral College & abolishing the US Federal Reserve System for the WIN, Alex!

That kind of strong mojo would unshackle the bound hands of WE the PEOPLE and allow for more justice and equity.

But do the people see this?

2. I see it--

it's part of the problem.

Telling kids to vote because their voice/vote makes a difference is bs, when their vote can be overrode by the electoral college. It's an old, outdated, ridiculous system. It's time to go!

3. I think this is way overdue.

How to bring it to national attention and highlight the need is the question. How do we illustrate the need to the general public? It is something so obscure to the general public that to convince the average citizen of the need will be very difficult. The effort has to have some snap and sizzle or it will be ignored. People will dismiss it as wonkish nonsense. That is what they will be told about the effort. People that are benefitting from this system will fight tooth and nail. Do you have any ideas how to sell the plan to the public?
