John, if you're like I am, then you believe in the idea that
democracy depends on the concept of "one person, one vote."
You probably also believe the President should be the candidate who gets
the most popular votes nationwide, because that’s one person, one vote. In
fact, it would mean every single vote cast is equal no matter where you
live.
The good news is the National Popular Vote bill has been passed by 15
states plus DC accounting for 196 electoral college votes. It will take
effect nationwide once enacted by states with just 74 more electoral
votes. Eight states, adding up to 75 more electoral votes, have already
passed the bill through at least one legislative chamber and over 3,400
state legislators have endorsed the bill.
We’re so close to winning!
The problem is that Republicans know it too and they’re afraid. They know
Donald Trump, and George W. Bush before him, LOST the national popular
vote. So now, they’re fighting back.
That’s why opponents have already spent over a million dollars trying to
repeal the National Popular Vote law that was passed by the Colorado
legislature and signed by the Governor. Now they’re taking their case to
the people in a statewide referendum and they’re willing to spend whatever
it takes to mislead, confuse or outright lie to win.

You know, when it comes to making big change, there’s a pattern that
happens almost every time. Gandhi described it best:
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then
you win."
They’re finally fighting us and we will beat them, but only if we stand
together, fight back, and never give up.
Let’s do this! [ [link removed] ]Join the campaign by adding your name now.
