This Progressive Led Maneuver Is Very, Very Dangerous

Everyone should read this and give it serious consideration.  For a very long time the liberal left has been in pursuit of this dream.  The idea is to bypass the electoral college and elect presidents via direct popular vote.  What is wrong with that you ask?  It is a very bad idea.  Here's why.  If implemented the only votes that will matter are those cast in the states with the largest populations.  Guess what?  Those are the most liberal states in the country.  Which party do you think will win every presidential election?  The Democrats fueled by their progressive and liberal money and influence will be the winners and in permanent control of the country.  During election cycles the only places presidential candidates will campaign are the states that get them elected.  The rest of the people will be ignored - why waste time and money seeking support in states that don't matter?  As a consequence the interests of ignored states in national politics will not matter.  The only interests federal politicians will pursue will be those of the Large Cities and Densely Populated Centers.  Check out the states involved - they are bastions of liberal governance and the states that have the worst problems with poverty, crime, unemployment and are fiscal basket cases.  If this happens the welfare state will balloon and consume both the nation and the financial resources of fiscally responsible states.  Historically responsible states will, in fact, become the paymasters for the federal government's uncontrollable spending, and provide resources for fiscally irresponsible states.  And guess what, the consequence will to reduce them to servant states for the progressive/liberal states/population centers.  Dangerous?  Yes!  Destructive?  Yes!.  Fight for all you are worth in your state to bring this misguided notion to a screeching halt!  Otherwise, we are doomed.   http://www.wnd.com/2014/04/scheme-to-neutralize-36-states-votes-advances/    By the way, have you heard this discussed by the progressive mainstream media?  No?  That is by design...if the sleeping public is not informed and made to understand the dangers it poses, the progressives/liberals will win and the masses will be reduced to permanent serfdom.  Sound familiar?  It should.  Just consider the history of Soviet Russia and China.  It will be America's version of the socialist maxim: socialism is not for the socialists; it is for the masses.
