  • A reply on Conversation: Direct popular vote should replace the Electoral College.

    Jan 2 2013: I agree, Thomas. The College allows for a better body of people electing the President.
  • A comment on Conversation: Direct popular vote should replace the Electoral College.

    Jan 2 2013: I believe that the Electoral College is a fair way to represent the people of the United States but the people who make up the College should be chosen in a popular vote. If the general public has a greater say in who represents them in the college, then the system works out better.
  • A comment on Conversation: Should term limits be imposed on Congress?

    Dec 10 2012: I believe that term limits should be placed on our Congressmen and women because it would allow for a more efficient Congress. The representatives could focus on actually doing their jobs, rather than simply passing legislation to get themselves re-elected and make themselves look good. The term limits would also allow for a greater degree of representation of the House was capped at 2 terms, or 4 years and the Senate at 1 term, or 6 years. I feel that that is sufficient time to get familiar with how Washington works and to become acquainted with the legislation.
