“The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. 
The Oregon legislature is about to vote on the National Popular Vote bill (HB 2927), so please email your Oregon legislators and ask them to support the bill.”

Here’s the action I took. Will you join with me and raise your voice in support?

“Thank you for sending e-mails to your state legislators and officials concerning the National Popular Vote bill.

You will probably receive an automated generic response from the legislators and, after the legislative office reads your email, you will probably later receive a more specific response.

  • Secretary of State Dennis Richardson (oregon.sos@sos.or.us)

SUBJECT: Candidate with most votes should win Presidency

The current way we elect the president is broken. It looks like the entire campaign is going to come down to Ohio and Florida and a couple of other states. Oregon doesn’t seem to matter because everyone knows who is going to win here, and the candidates ignore us. But we as American citizens can change all of this.

Gary Eby, MSW.”

Here is my humble strategy to create a kinder, healthier, better America. First, how is it fair and just by any stretch of the imagination, that the most powerful elected position in America – the Presidency, isn’t elected by the popular vote?

Mayors are elected by popular vote; so are governors, representatives, and senators. Why is the office of president any different? Sure, you can argue that the founding fathers of America set up the Electoral College, and that’s the way our Constitution wants it to be.

What if the Electoral College is broken, flawed, and rigged against the true will of the American people? For example, the founding Fathers never debated the “winner-take-all” system that is presently used by 48 of our 50 states via the Electoral College to elect a president by a mere 270 or more votes. Why should 270 votes count more than millions and millions of Americans?

Is the Electoral College wiser than all of us? Are we equal or unequal? Are we free to determine the fate of our country or not? Should we trust a president who has a hand on the nuclear trigger, and doesn’t have the support of the majority of Americans? Does this really make sense to you?
