The Dream Part One

Hello friends and readers,

  While for many it is the day after Thanksgiving, it brings the celebration of ‘Left Overs”…meaning turkey sandwiches for a week and side dishes such as stuffing and cranberry sauce are eaten generously.

  I dreamt last night.  You will understand this better knowing that no one from the Senate has emailed me back; at least those representing me from Washington State, in regards to the Bill to Abolish the Electoral College.   Maybe it’s the wording of the Bill that is confusing to them.  In proper speak, the Electoral College is actually the College of Electorates….and no, they don’t have a football team. 

  In my dream, I saw more  clearly why my Congress would never pass such a Bill.  Follow me now….the Senate and Congress have been bipartisan for as long as we have had a Congress.  Meaning Democrat or Republican.  Congress knows, that with the College of Electorates in place, there will be one of two choices for president ( regardless of popular vote )…either Democrat or Republican.

  Congress knows that they can keep such a president under ‘lock and key’ and hold them hostage with their votes…thus changing the course of votes.

  In my dream, I saw what would happen if an ‘Independent’ became president.  Congress would be clueless knowing how to reign in a free thinker.  A president that was no longer to be ‘bent’ one way or another.  With a president they can’t control, gone will be their iron grip of the masses.  Non effective votes and the tie of Big Business to Congress would be cut. 

  In the dream I saw there was a lot of work yet to go….to have our votes count, the only way is to abolish the electoral college, and the only way to do that is to contact our representatives in Congress…and to keep contacting them.  Visit www.opencongress.org and contact your representatives.  I am going to contact them again and try to draw them out….to definitively say ‘Aye’ or ‘Nay’ and explain, in their words…why. 

  Have a great day and terrific weekend!!
