President
Supporting Member
Dear friends,

I wanted to let you know about a new petition I created on We the People,
a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and ask for your support. Will you add your
name to mine? If this petition gets 25,000 signatures by December 15, 2012,
the White House will review it and respond!

We the People allows anyone to create and sign petitions asking the Obama
Administration to take action on a range of issues. If a petition gets
enough support, the Obama Administration will issue an official response.

You can view and sign the petition here:

Petition Text:

1. Restrict campaign contributions to voters. Each contribution must be identified by a voter id.

2. Restrict campaign contributions to voters who can actually vote for a candidate. If you cannot legally vote for the candidate you also cannot contribute money.

3. Restrict the amount one contributor can donate to $2,000 per candidate.

4. Do away with the Electoral college. It discourages democratic voters in Texas and republican voters in California and New York. The president should be elected based on the simple concept of the popular vote.
 
850 registered voters in Port St Lucie cast 1550 ballots. Voter fraud? What voter fraud?
If Florida Democrats wanted anything else as much as they wanted the re election of Barack Obama, they wanted the removal of Allen West from their congressional delegation, even if it meant sending the town drunk in his place.
This opens the door to the supposition that Barack Obama is an illegal president who gained re election through fraudulent and illicit means and was probably the reason David Axelrod picked up the phone and gave the Gallup organization a new @sshole over their statistical voting methodology. Because had Obama won while all the polls showed him losing by a significant margin right up till voting day, the instinctive, gut reaction would have rapidly focused the usual Democratic ballot box chicanery. It was probably the reason Obama refrained from intervening in any manner allowing Ahmadinejad to suppress the Iranian street revolts in whatever manner he saw fit, because Obama knew he was going to have gain his re election the same way.
It was left to Allen West to rip the cover off the fraud and reveal it for all to see..
 
1, 2, 3....all excellent.

4.... I dunno.....it wouldn't really change that much. The big hitters would still be the big states.
 
But why vote for president if you are a republican in a blue state or a democrat in a red one? The electoral college is a useless relic of slavery....when slaves were counted to determine the number of electors.....

"All the polls showed him losing by a significant margin right up till voting day"?!?!? Man, you are really out there in fruitcake land. Do you think we have already forgotten all the Republican complaints about the polls showing Obama winning, and all their whining that the polls were biased, and were "oversampling" Democrats, and so on and so forth, ad nauseum??
 
Did you come up with that wacky conspiracy theory all by yourself? Seems a little elaborate for you. I'm thinking that you've figured out that paraphrasing Weaselzippers or Brietbart won't get you laughed off the board as fast as showing one of their links does.

But that was a really good one. Had all of the elements I love in a winger conspiracy rant. Virtually everyone from the oval office to Iran was involved in the Great Florida Axelrod Gallup Ahmadinejad Allen West Town Drunk Voter Fraud Illegal President Supposition Conspiracy.

Write your congressman. Please? Copy us?
 
You're right, MV. I don't feel like my vote matters at all in GA. It would be nice to think it wasn't wasted and that it was worth something in the POTUS election for a change.
 
I'll second that...with a couple of exceptions!

#1 should restrict contributions to residents of the district in question. No outsider money. If you're voting for a representative of your interests then you damn sure shoudn't want money coming in from non-residents who don't give a damn about your interests.

#4 No friggin' way. We are a REPUBLIC with disparate interests. Agricultural versus Industrial. Rural versus Urban. Exporters versus Importers, and so forth. The Electoral College is the only balancing mechanism. It may not be perfect but it's one helluva lot better than 50% + 1 vote.

I'd go even further.....get rid of the direct "popular" vote election of the President before we have President Justin Beiber. Let the people who we elect to REPRESENT us decide who's most qualified to lead.

That by the way, is what the original Constitution prescibed, but true to course we've managed to f'ck that up too.
 
What exception are you making to #1? Seems like we are in agreement there.

Keeping the electoral college does not accomplish anything except to guarantee an election like 2000. It makes election fraud easier and makes a president pay more attention to 9 states than the rest of the country.
 
Meanwhile....what does that have to do with the thread? Some of the right wingers are like zombies...they just keep babbling the same crap, no matter what the topic is.
 
How come you don't want to talk about the regional interests that the Founders sweated and fretted over. If you're so much [Unwelcome language removed] smarter than they were I'd think you'd at least have a little something to say about it.

If you're just a whining little know nothing thumb sucker craving attention, then I accept your response for what it is.
 
1. The original founders came up with the electoral college because the southern states would not join the confederation without a way to balance the concerns of slave states with the north. That is why the number of electors was calculated by including slaves in the math.
2. I have the benefit of knowing what will happen in 2000. They did not.
3. You are a whiny assed pos who is still pissed because your side lost the election....Since you've shown yourself to be a child don't be too surprised to find that I am ignoring you...
 
We have some pretty short attention spans around here. I was the second signer and the total remains at 2. I'll post the link on my FB and see what happens.
 
So no support from you? Zig and I are the only signers and it takes 150 for it to be searchable on the WH site....
