"The people have supported the direct election of the president for over fifty years. In this book Dr. Koza suggests a way for states to come together and make it happen. ... I strongly support and applaud any good-faith effort to make the direct election of the president a reality and commend to you the intriguing approach offered in the ‘Agreement Among States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote” described in this book.’ ”
—John Buchanan (R–Alabama) "
