Romney will change the course that this nation - not as sharply as I would like but he will not keep us on autopilot toward the total destruction of our free market economy. Skip the election or vote for a sure loser and you will have no chance of nudging the country toward the right direction - whatever you think the correct direction may be.

Meetings of Electors and Transmission of Certificates of Vote to NARA:
• The electors meet in their State to select the President
and Vice President of the United States. No Constitutional provision or Federal law requires electors to vote in accordance with the popular vote in their States. NARA’s web site lists the States that have laws to bind electors to candidates.
