KINGMAN – GOP District 1 Precinct Committeemen will meet on Tuesday, September 21st.
Special guest, Trent England, founder of the Save Our States organization, will speak regarding the importance of preserving the Electoral College as well as defending it against the National Popular Vote campaign (NPV).
The public is invited to attend this meeting. There is no charge for attendance and attendees who are registered as Republican will have the opportunity to apply to be Precinct Committeemen.
“Precinct Committeemen are the most important officeholders that we have,” stated District 1 Director, Becky Foster. “They are the heart and soul of the Party and are the ones who do the real work at the local level; they are the boots on the ground that help get conservatives elected.”
Save Our States is a group dedicated to defending the Electoral College from the National Popular Vote (NPV) campaign, which would nullify the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment.
In 2008, states worth 38 electoral votes signed on to NPV. At that pace, it would have taken effect by 2016. Recognizing this threat to our republic, attorney and legal scholar Trent England created Save Our States in 2009.
Save Our States experts have testified at dozens of hearings and visited with legislators from Juneau to Augusta to Sacramento. They have convinced many legislators – even former sponsors of NPV – to become defenders of the Electoral College. If not for the work of Save Our States, NPV would already have claimed control of the presidential elections resulting in a constitutional crisis.
England is the founder and Executive Director of Save Our States. He previously served as an Executive Vice President for both the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs and the Freedom Foundation, and as a legal policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation.
He is a producer of the feature-length documentary, Safeguard: An Electoral College Story; and is the author of Why We Must Defend the Electoral College; and a contributor to The Heritage Guide to the Constitution and One Nation Under Arrest. He earned a J.D. from the George Mason University School of Law and a B.A. in government from Claremont McKenna College.
The meeting will be at the Family Bible Church, 2040 Golden Gate (corner of Fairgrounds and Golden Gate) at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 21, 2021.
The electoral college is a slavery era constitutional compromise that fails miserably. It was designed to get the slave states to agree on the constitution along with the infamous 3/5 solution. Only in the United States, of the legitimate Democracies, can a candidate lose the vote and somehow get elected– and only for one, single office, no others. I wonder if Becky Foster will allow a dissenting opinion to be expressed on this nonsense. If a Democrat won two or three Presidential elections in the last 20 years, without winning the popular vote, Becky and her ilk, would be screaming to abolish the EC, immediately. Ooopps, Becky WAS a Democrat when she was in County office.
