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 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.

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 StatesNever 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.
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?" |
