A Devil's Compact Sponsored by George Soros to Destroy the Constitutional Election of Presidents

A plan, now speedily sneaking through state legislatures would eliminate the Electoral College and award the presidency to the winner of the national popular vote. The plan involves an National Popular Vote Interstate Compact under which states would commit to select electors pledged to vote for the national popular vote winner regardless of how their own state voted. When sufficient states cast votes in the Electoral College to meet the required majority 270 votes, it will take effect. The Electoral College will be cast aside. So far, nine states and the District of Columbia - that together cast 136 Electoral College votes - have joined. That's half the 270 votes needed to put the Compact into effect. The ratifying states are Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Massachusetts, DC, Vermont, California, and Rhode Island. Both houses in New York have passed the Compact and it is on Governor Cuomo’s desk. In addition, the Compact has already passed one house in the following states : Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Oregon. These states, plus New York, represent 107 votes. Combined with the others, they represent 242 votes of the needed 270. Who is behind this? All the state legislatures ratifying the Compact voted for Obama, as did 8 of the 10 one-house states. The movement is funded, in part, by the Center for Voting and Democracy, a George Soros-funded election group. Essentially, the idea of an Interstate Compact is an end run around the regular constitutional amendment process. Rather than get a two-thirds majority of each house of Congress and three-quarters of the states, this proposal would take effect when a simple majority of states approves it, without any congressional action. Why are Democrats pushing this plan? Political analyst Dick Morris says Democrats usually see a smaller percentage of their people go to the polls than Republicans. For example, under the Electoral College system for President, they have little incentive to work for a high turnout in New York City, knowing that the state will go Democrat anyway. But, if it were the popular vote that decided, the big city machines would work hard with devastating impact, including double voting, fraudulent voting, and all the other tricks of the trade at which Democrats are past masters in the biggest cities most firmly in Democratic control (Washington DC, New York, Detroit, Chicago San Francisco). And these cities are all in solidly Democrat states. But, according to Morris, if the popular vote were to determine the next President, the Democrat city machines would be out in force lining up voters, real and fake, to pad their vote position. ~~~~~ Morris says some Republicans in non-swing states are inclined to back the proposal simply so that they get their fair share of attention, because they are tired of delegating to Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Virginia, et al, the power to choose the President. But, Morris says Republicans need to kill this proposal and they better get busy doing it. Republicans must stand firm and not yield to the temptation to back the Compact. How can the GOP stop the Democrats from ravaging our political system? Key battles are coming up in Arkansas and North Carolina. In both states, one house has passed the Compact. Republicans need to block the Compact from taking effect. And Republicans in Minnesota and Wisconsin, both Democrat states, need to stop ratification in their states. Republicans should focus on stopping the second house from ratification in those states where only one house has acted. Our democracy depends on it, says Dick Morris. ~~~~~ And in a rare sign of unanimity, conservatives and leading liberals slammed the campaign to effectively end the Electoral College's role in presidential elections, saying that the National Popular Vote Compact Law circumvents the Constitution, comparing it to President Barack Obama's abuse of the law through his extensive use of executive orders. "It is pretty startling," Bill Kristol, founder and editor of The Weekly Standard, told Newsmax TV this week : "If they want to make the case for the popular election of President and a constitutional amendment, they should make the case. But the Left these days doesn't make the case, and they don't go the normal route of changing the law if they don't like the law....They think of gimmicks and evasions and ways to get around the normal popular debate. This is all happening kind of quietly. I'm really struck by the way they’re doing it." Dick Morris told Newsmax that the effort is ripe for voter fraud and would guarantee that from now on, Democrats will win the White House every four years. Other conservatives agreed with Morris, saying that "the stealth way - going through the states - was doing an end-run around the Constitution. "It's a serious discussion. It's a debate worth having," former Michigan Representative Pete Hoekstra told Newsmax : "If we're going to change it [the Constitution], let's do it the appropriate way: get the super-majority votes in Congress, have the states ratify it, have a national debate. This is again, by the Left, an effort to circumvent the current electoral process, and through a stealth campaign, ensure their electoral dominance moving into the future." Kevin Jackson, a radio talk-show host and author who was a panelist with Hoekstra, said the Electoral College effort comes as "we're dangerously close to the Left having control of the Supreme Court" with the possible retirement of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, 81, and three others in their 70s. They are Antonin Scalia, 78, and Anthony Kennedy, 77, who were appointed by President Ronald Reagan; and Stephen Breyer, 75, who - along with Ginsberg - were appointed by President Clinton. "It's definitely trying to get around the system," Jackson said of the Compact. Even such liberals as Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz and Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf blasted the campaign. "It's nuts," Sheinkopf told Newsmax : "Here's a case of where they're trying to go around the Constitution, around the law, to do something that's patently illegal and wrong. It's the same way the Obama administration issues executive orders. Our Constitution, that's worked very well for 200 years, is now being tampered with. A bad move. This system was put in place to ensure that crazy people couldn't get control of the government. And that's why it works. Don’t change something that shouldn’t be changed, for the purpose of making some people happy." Dershowitz said the Compact "certainly violates the spirit of the Constitution. Plainly, the founders of the Constitution did not intend for there to be a conspiracy among certain states to essentially abolish the Electoral College." Dershowitz, too, called for a constitutional amendment. The Electoral College was established by the Founding Fathers during the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The amendment probably would not succeed today, but to use this method of circumvention, it seems to me would encourage other states to use other methods of circumventing the Constitution when it came to racial equality or other things," Dershowitz told Newsmax. "I think it is quite short-sighted," he added. "I do not support it." ~~~~~ Dear readers, the most disturbing aspect of this Compact is that it is being carried out in silence by Democrat states with Democrat-controlled legislatures. No one has had the courage to tell America what is happening. No one has explained to Americans that their constitutional process for electing their President is being destroyed without their knowledge. And, that George Soros is behind this theft of the Constitution means that the White House and President Obama are insiders. Imagine -- what if, by stealing votes and overriding the Constitution by means of the Compact, Obama were somehow re-elected to an unconstitutional third term in 2016. America would be lost forever to the fanatical goal of George Soros to destroy America as the protector of human liberty. As John LeCarre wrote : "And that's how I know he can be beaten. Because he's a fanatic. And the fanatic is always concealing a secret doubt." But, this is no time for complacency. If you are American...if you want to save the America you love from the Leftist agenda of George Soros and his public face, Barack Obama, email your state governor and your state legislator - do not be polite - tell them bluntly that their political future depends on their not agreeing to this Devil's Compact. ~~~~~ Tomorrow, we'll discuss Soros and Obama and their plans for America.
