If the 'President' is elected to represent the people of the United states, then he/she should be elected directly by the people. The Electoral College, in which electors represent states --not people --must be abolished and the 'office' of President elected directly. The voice of the people needs no proxy. The voice of the people must be be heard directly, loudly and often.

  1. #1    The college is not your problem, it is the wash of money that sloshes through the entire system. Races should be funded through public money alone. It ain't Democracy if you can buy it, if you spell it Democra$y.

    Of course 'money' is the problem and so is the 'college'. The college DISTORTS and dilutes the power of 'people' and plays into the hands of money. 'Moneyed' interests love anything that 'dilutes' the power of people or, in other ways, deprives them of REAL Democracy.

    The two issues are NOT mutually exclusive.
