Abolition of Electoral College

Position on whether the electoral college should be abolished in favor of a direct popular vote or not. Defend your position using two specific arguments and examples to support your claim.

Answer:  I am in support or in favor of the electoral college being abolished in favor of a direct popular- one person one vote.  First of all, the amount of monies spent for ads and the lack of visit to the states where candidates deem unimportant results in neglect or even the fact that they are already Democrat or Republican and the individuals have already created a strategy for winning, eliminating certain states or voters.  The voter base in these neglected states become  symbolic or "die-hard" supporters. For example Rob Richie, executive Director of Fair Vote pointed out that certain states never receive a visit from the candidates like in the case of Maryland and also Chicago. 

John Samples from the Cato Institute's argument in favor of the electoral college is because it is rooted in the Constitution while I am of the view that the Constitution should be amended to reflect or keep up with modern times and the younger generation who are interested in instant or direct results. For example the credit card and social media in the likes of twitter.  The founding fathers did not see 200 years after the writing of the Constitution that the newspaper would be irrelevant as well as the hundred plus years of the eight ro bear arms in the Constitution there would be the assault rifle and rocket launders. I am of the view or questioning whether an initiative or placing this on a ballot and go from there. It has to start somewhere to make it to congress.

Greystar - Management Company or Criminal Enterprise

It is not everyday one encounters a situation where a business is conducting itself so poorly that it endangers people and put a  country where they are operating at risk.  A NATIONAL SECURITY fiasco. Greystar Management established since 1993 thereabout has skirted by under the radar for all these years.  They have been engaging in what one can call racketeering and fraud for years as well as PETTY party politics and no one knew.   The CEO and Owner is not a business person he is squarely POLITICAL and a ROGUE in his business dealings.  The individuals employed in this company have been engaging in some type of activity that necessitates the intervention of the SEC and FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. The CEO and OWNER we all know that he was the Secretary of Commerce for four years in South Carolina - a REPUBLICAN - which should not be standing out by any means, but this time around based on all the happenings I hope note is duly taken of the happenings among his...

Jacob Taylor Mental Health Professional - Sexual Abuser

Image
 There seems to be the condoning of abuse in the mental health system and colleagues of the ones doing the abusing are shielding them. I have encountered a Mental Health professional in the name of Jacob Taylor with the Snohomish County Sheriff department and Health Care Administrator and Social Worker Johnson.  These individuals for some reason are involved with the oathkeepers and involved in mental health fraud. Mental Health Fraud is part of the United States systems for years.  The mental health system and professionals are involved in using methods of creating mental health issues in people. I have said that mental health is not contagious neither is homelessness.  One cannot encounter a mental health professional and nurses even in public health and members in the adult family home setting in Everett WA and end up on their list for no reason. I have encountered a few of these individuals who are using some covert technology on the homeless and mental health pa...
