Iowa Seeks To Remove Electoral College

Zebano writes "Since changing the US constitution is too much work, the Iowa senate is considering a bill that would send all 7 of Iowa's electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote in a presidential election. This would only go into affect after enough states totaling 270 electoral votes (enough to elect a president) adopted similar resolutions."

You're not actually insinuating people WANT to be treated like sheep, are you? Well... yes you are. And you're right.

When did all this start happening?

FDR's New Deal.

Now with the stimulus package passed, the nail's in the coffin.

The American people used voting to remove him from office.

Just to be picky, the people used voting to *keep* him in office (2004). They used term limits (which was never publicly voted on) to remove him from office in 2008.
