Our time, and effort would be better spent electing people to the House who understand the process, and are willing to stand up for the Constitution.
I agree with the main point you are making. It is included in the fourth item on the to-do list. We need not be restricted to one goal at a time. There is a short-term opportunity to make a difference at the convention, and if that can be achieved it can make a great improvement in the situation.
Most of us have enough time and mind power to work on both. As it stands now, with the choices currently on ballot, I will not vote for President, but ONLY for the other offices on ballot. If something comes along to improve this situation (like a better name in the President column), I might go ahead and vote.
