A Toolbox for Grassroots efforts
to help you LEARN, to TEACH and to DEFEND our Electoral College.

Who we are ...

Keep Our 50 States is simply a group of thousands of grass roots volunteer citizens all across the country in over 43 States, committed to our marvelous American experiment in self-governing.

What we do ...

To Learn About,  To Teach, and To Defend our Constitution, the American Federation of States, States' Rights and specifically our Electoral College system of electing the President of these United States:
  • We connect with like-minded Patriots from all walks of life
  • We educate ourselves on the Constitution, and particularly the American Presidential election system
  • We distribute written arguments and strategies to members so they can effectively talk with their State lawmakers
  • We urge State legislators to reject the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact that would dismantle the effectiveness of the Electoral College and the safeguards that it provides to our States and the People in Presidential elections
Picture
We must always remember that the United STATES is a FEDERATION of sovereign States. To 'Keep Our 50 States' means that we must fight to preserve the Federation as an intrinsic and indispensable component of our ability to self-govern ourselves. Efforts to neuter the Electoral College is nothing less than part of the major effort to erase the U.S. Federation of States.

Keep Our Republic.
​Keep Our 50 States!

Help us protect the STATES' rightful role in electing the President of the United STATES.   Help STOP the​ National Popular Vote Interstate Compact scheme.

Why we're doing it ...

"It's a republic, Ma'am - - ​IF you can keep it."
- Ben Franklin, Phila. Penna., Sept 21, 1787

These
​United States

Never forget that the STATES created these United States, not the other way around.  AND, that the powers and authorities of the Federal government are specifically limited, they are listed and they are few, while the powers of the States and of the People are specifically (almost completely) unlimited and many.
Meeting Room, Independence Hall, Philadelphia - 1787
Independence Hall - Philadelphia, Penna. May 25 to Sept 21, 1787
Government gets its just authority to govern from the Consent of the Governed.

A republic is a form of self-governance by those who are governed - and in the case of these United States, that includes our States as well as We, the People.​  And, it is our STATES where most of our Domestic governing is to take place.

Our Federal government and President are not SUPPOSED to govern us DOMESTICALLY.  He or she is to help govern the States collectively, to help facilitate matters between them and to represent the States to foreign governments in all matters.

Our States, being much more responsive to the People who live in them, are large enough to provide meaningful governing services, yet small enough to be accountable to the People.  The Consent of the Governed is far more effectively granted or withheld at the State level than it is at the Federal!


At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in September 1787, after four hot, grueling months of debate and deliberation, a local citizen of Philadelphia approached Benjamin Franklin outside Independence Hall and asked him, "Well, Dr. Franklin - What have you given us?  Is it a republic - or a monarchy?"

Keep Our 50 States is working to Keep Our Republic!

America ... It's a Republic, and a Federation of Sovereign States ​... and, it's Under ATTACK!
