    FIFTEEN YEARS AGO,  when I first learned about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, I knew I needed to work hard against it and help inform lawmakers about the pitfalls of this Agreement among a few States.

    Having served as a legislative staffer and done lots of writing, I dove in.
    ​
    Today it’s WONDERFUL to be part of a vigorous TEAM that educates, encourages, equips and inspires people to jump in, to keep learning and to continue the campaign to defeat NPV.

    I hope this page helps you to write letters to lawmakers or posts on social media. One piece of advice is to aim for a total of 300 words.
     
    On this page you will find:
     - Helpful Links
     - A sample “Don’t support NPV” letter 
     - Intros & conclusions for bills to 1) support the Electoral College and 2) Exit the NPV Compact 
     - Sample addendum to attach to legislative emails: additional facts and perspective about our election infrastructure, the Electoral College and NPV
     - Easiest ways to capture lawmaker email addresses into an email.

    ​YOU ARE WELCOME to use or adapt any statements made here for your own lobbying efforts.




    ​Roberta is the Northwest Region Director (Volunteer) for the 'Keep Our 50 States' grassroots group.
