Preserve the Constitution, Electoral College

| December 22, 2016 2:00 AM

Any attempt to destroy the Electoral College is an assault on the U.S. Constitution and Republic. We are not a democracy. Schools deliberately don’t teach the difference. The Constitution was written to protect people from mob violence. This country cannot be ruled by ignorant mobs living in massive urban areas.

Some political leaders want democracy, to rule ignorant and divided ethnic groups for profit and power. Consider the impact of barrios, ghettos, poverty, laws, political leaders, community organizers, outside agitators, violence, and riots in major cities.

Do we want those massive-population cities to rule this country? What percentage of people in those cities have a single job that supports a family at a middle-class income level? What percentage graduate from high school, go to trade school, college, or directly to decent jobs? What percentage are actually happy? How wealthy are political leaders of major crime ridden cities?

Protect the U.S. Constitution and Electoral College. Write your state representatives.
