ezs note: I had considered a number of ways that the silliness of the Electoral College system could be abolished, but Robert Reich's idea seems more practical, and has already gained some traction by having a number of states adopted the idea. See the video, and if you agree, contact your state representative and state senator and urge them to vote for the bill. Thanks.
ezs note: I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors, who gave me a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure BS. Fortunately, though, Ed saves the day. I may not see every line from side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

Click in this area, and with luck, you'll be in! The correct address will be:
