We Can Kill the Electoral College Now
The Electoral College, the system by which we elect our president, is an utterly senseless institution and a total failure that must be – and can be – eliminated before November’s General Election. A nationwide effort to do just that is nearing the finish line, and with a little more…
Young People Must Vote
One of the saddest trends in today’s political world is the growing number of voting-age young people who believe that democracy is failing them. They are wrong. Democracy is not failing them. They are failing democracy! Democracy depends on people paying attention to what is going on in the world…
