That's part of their grand "third way" scheme: convince Americans that we really have direct democracy. Then they'll be able to buy our votes directly, as much as they've been trying to do indirectly for years -- in all parties. This is not a direct democracy, and it won't last for 20 years once it has been converted to such. But the anti-EC people want that. They want it to be "more democratic."

It's a Republic, if we can keep it! --Benjamin Franklin

Our Founding Fathers were brilliant and had a wonderful understanding of where this nation was going,and what would be the best way to run a country and best suit its citizens.

Our representative form of government has proved itself these 228 years surviving a civil war and some changes to its constitution. There ain't no way some whining liberal crybabies are going to change our form of government any time soon. Even if the "slimes" endorses doing away with the EC all that rag is and will ever be anymore is a mouthpiece for the clintons.
