Why don't Progressives, Independents, Natural Law-ists (Law-yers?), Libertarians, insert-third-party-here join forces and write their local congresscritters seeking change in the system? Whether it be instant-runoff voting, proportional electoral college votes (that is, send x% to the college who voted for one candidate and (100-x)% to the college who voted for the other,) or some other way to change the nature of our winner-take-all, first-past-the-post election system. The fact is that is how it is run. It's an exercise in futility for Nader to run again. Blah, Nick [1] - why is Edwards still in the race? _______________________________________________ heads mailing list [email protected] http://ballistichelmet.org/mailman/listinfo/heads/ http://ballistichelmet.org/donate/
