Subject: We need to voice opposition to GA General Assembly bills in GA Senate and GA House for the National Popular Vote

Hello,

It is very urgent and important to voice your opposition to the National Popular Vote which will come up for a vote in the session in January at our GA capitol.  We must not want elections to change whereby a presidential candidate is elected by the National Popular Vote and not by the electoral college (as it is at present).  Changing it would take away importance from states and allow for mob rule.  Then elections would have many recounts.  Use of the electoral college to elect American presidents has worked for over 200 years and has kept our country stable.  Voting using the electoral college is consistent with our republican form of government.  If the National Popular Vote passed, this would give the most populous states a controlling majority of the Electoral College, letting the voters of as few as 11 states control the outcome of presidential elections.  The NPV would undermine the protection of the electoral College, elevating the importance of big urban centers like New York and Los Angeles, while diminishing the influence of smaller states and rural areas.

This proposal to pass the National Popular Vote is supported unanimously by Democrats and the first to sign onto this were the most liberal states and is funded by them. 

Here is specific contact information about opposing the National Popular Vote for you.  You can call district offices and write to GA Reps. and GA Senators and others to oppose the National Popular Vote.  

Governor Nathan Deal  Urge him not to sign it if it passes the GA House and GA Senate.
