Colorado H.B. 1299 -Electoral College Reform (NO!)

Well, ask your state representative to say no, as this isn’t currently scheduled to be voted on by the citizenry.

Douglas County senator is Ted Harvey, ted.harvey.senate@state.co.us .

IMO the bill is yet another ill-informed and extremely unwise alteration of our constitutional rights and protections.

“The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and the District of Columbia).”

I don’t WANT to be governed by 51% of any gang of thugs that can be assembled (or more politely, by whatever the majority FEELS like doing).

“…this meant that some men (the majority or any gang that claims to be its spokesman) are ethically entitled to pursue any whims (or any atrocities) they desire to pursue, while other men are ethically obliged to spend their lives in the service of that gang's desires.” (A. Rand, The Objectivist Ethics.)
