One and only way to take our democracy back is to attack by state |
|
constitutional amendments requiring paper ballots and hand counts.
I would appreciate other comments and suggestions such as absolving the electoral collge or making the supreme court an elective position etc.

3. OMG In Truth We Trust ! |
|
I have been saying the exact same thing since the last stolen election! First and foremost we must hold our state elected officials accountable for their actions. We must let them know that if they don't support their constituency, they will not have our support when election time rolls around. On the state level, we can be more effective. We can get up-close-and-personal. My politicos visit even the most remote areas. We MUST take advantage of these meetings. We must educate our politicos. When they know that their jobs are in jeopardy, then and only then will they be sensitive to our wants and needs.

4. Making the supreme court an elected position would be BAD! |
|
If you mean having general elections like we do for president, that is.
Right now, I'm sure the country would vote people in who don't think I should ever get married. The Supreme Court is a life-time appointment so that they don't have to worry about "popular opinion" and being elected next term.
