|
THANKS EVERYBODY. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE HAS BEEN A MONKEY ON THE BACK OF THE UNITED STATES FOR A LONG... |
| 00:20:28 |
|
I MENTIONED THAT I GOT ELECTED TO CONGRESS BY ACCIDENT AND I WAS A PREACHER, AND I ALMOST STARTED... |
| 00:24:04 |
|
THANK YOU, REVEREND AND CONGRESSMAN AND PRESIDENT EDGAR FOR THAT KIND INVITATION. AND I DETERMINED... |
| 00:39:36 |
|
JUST AS A LITTLE P.S., YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE WAS SIGNED INTO LAW IN NEW JERSEY... |
| 00:41:49 |
|
THANK YOU, BOB ALTHOUGH I WOULD SAY NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE ISN'T THE DISEASE, IT'S THE CURE. YOU ALSO... |
| 00:50:33 |
|
IT IS NOT YOUR TURN TO ASK THESE AS BURKE'S QUESTIONS WE'VE GOT A MICROPHONE HERE. ERIC WHO IS MY... |
| 00:51:07 |
|
WHAT IS THE STATUS -- MY NAME IS DAVID CAPLAN. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE BILL IN NEW YORK? |
| 00:51:19 |
|
IT IS A VERY COMPLICATED QUESTION. LET ME ASK JOHN. |
| 00:51:25 |
|
IN 2006 BY REPUBLICANS AND USE THE BILL IN THE ASSEMBLY MORE LESS SPONTANEOUSLY. THEY WENT AROUND... |
| 00:52:25 |
|
I'M AN ADVOCATE AGAINST ELECTRONIC VOTING AND IN FAVOR OF VOTING TECHNOLOGIES THAT PEOPLE CAN OBSERVE.... |
| 00:52:40 |
|
YOU'RE ISSUE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US BUT THIS WAS A FORUM ON NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE WHICH IS DIFFERENT... |
| 00:52:48 |
|
THERE WERE SOME LAUNDRY LISTS GIVEN OTHER ISSUES AND THE ISSUE OF WHETHER PEOPLE CAN OBSERVE THE ELECTION... |
| 00:54:02 |
|
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED LOOK AT COMMON CAUSE AND.ORG. WE'VE... |
| 00:54:38 |
|
I AM A NEIGHBOR FROM NEW JERSEY. AT THE CHAIR A POLITICAL ACTIVIST GROUPS THAT IS PART OF DEMOCRACY... |
| 00:55:35 |
|
I'M FOR THAT. |
| 00:55:36 |
|
I CAN SEE THAT DEVELOPING AS A RESULT OF THIS CHANGE AND I'M AS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT IT AS ANYBODY HERE.... |
| 00:55:44 |
|
I CAN RETIRE FROM COMMON CAUSE THE DAY EVERY PUBLIC OFFICIAL SERVES THE PUBLIC INTEREST, NOT THE SPECIAL... |
| 00:56:03 |
|
I AM FROM LONG ISLAND, THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS. YOU BEEN DOING A VOTER PROGRAM IN THE SCHOOLS TO... |
| 00:56:54 |
|
THIS IS NOT COMMON CAUSES VIEW BUT BOB'S VIEW. I THINK EVERYBODY OUGHT TO BE REGISTERED AT BIRTH TO... |
| 00:58:08 |
|
THE COST OF ELECTIONS IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR COMMON CAUSE AND THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS. AN ISSUE WE... |
| 00:59:38 |
|
WE'RE WORKING WITH THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ON THE ISSUE OF PUBLIC FINANCING... |
| 01:00:27 |
|
IS AN UNANSWERABLE QUESTION REALLYiV BUT EVEN IF SOMEWHAT MORE MONEY IN ABSOLUTE TERMS IS SPENT THE... |
| 01:01:43 |
|
WE HAVE TWO QUESTIONS HERExy |
| 01:01:45 |
|
I AM WITH DEMOCRACY FROMow & rUju YORK CITY WHICH IS A LOCAL DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICAN GROUP IN THE CITY.... |
| 01:02:26 |
|
THE CONSTITUTION DOES SAY THAT. THE SUPREME COURT IN 1893 SAID WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS COMPAQ'S CHALLENGED... |
| 01:04:29 |
|
WE'RE WORKING REALLY HARD TO GIVE THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ACCESS TO BANEFUL CITIZENS OF THE UNITED... |
| 01:04:57 |
|
JUST A FEW LOGISTICAL QUESTIONS AND REVIEW THEIR ANSWERED IN YOUR BOOK. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF ON OCTOBER... |
| 01:05:37 |
|
AS WHY WE INVITED YOU TO COME HERE NESTLES QUESTIONS ABOUT CHAOS. |
| 01:05:46 |
|
AS WE RODE ALL 625 PAGES OF OUR BOOK. TAKING YOUR FIRST QUESTION, WHICH HAS TO DO WITH PREMATURE ... |
| 01:07:47 |
|
I SIT UP ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT READING SECTION FIVE AND IT DIDN'T QUITE GET TO SECTION THREE. |
| 01:08:00 |
|
RAUF ANDREW. SOME OF US CERTAINLY FAVOR NATIONAL HEALTH CARE AND WENT ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE AS A CONCEPT.... |
| 01:09:27 |
|
LET ME ASK ERIC TO RESPOND TO THAT QUESTION. |
| 01:09:33 |
|
PRESUMABLY THE NEW YORK TELEVISION STATIONS AREN'T GETTING ANYTHING OUT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL GENERAL... |
| 01:09:55 |
|
I BAPTIZED RICK AND CALLED HIM ERIC. I APOLOGIZE, THAT'S MY FIRST MISTAKE IN THE LAST MINUTE. |
| 01:10:05 |
|
I THINK THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS A POINT I HAVE MENTIONED AND THERE ARE EFFORTS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.... |
| 01:11:35 |
|
WE HAVE A QUESTION BACK THERE FIRST AND THEN YOU. |
| 01:11:40 |
|
THE NUMBER OF YOU HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT WHAT YOU PROPOSED WOULD INCREASE THE INVOLVEMENT OF VOTERS, THAT... |
| 01:12:44 |
|
I DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC NUMBERS BUT THERE IS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER TURNOUT IN BATTLEGROUND STATES. I SUPPOSE... |
| 01:13:39 |
|
PARA VOTE RONI THE STUDY THAT LOOKS INTO THAT ISSUE AS WELL AS OTHER WITH GREAT GRAFS. IT'S ABOUT... |
| 01:14:06 |
|
THAT AFFECT IS MORE PRONOUNCED AMONG YOUR YOUNGER VOTERS. OLDER VOTERS LIKE ME, I VOTE NO MATTER... |
| 01:14:43 |
|
WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THEIR HANDS RAISED. |
| 01:14:48 |
|
BEING A BATTLEGROUND STATE IS VERY TRANSIENT AND EPHEMERAL. FOR EXAMPLE IN 2000 BOTH PARTIES PULLED... |
| 01:15:20 |
|
I HAVE A BAD IDEA FOR YOU, EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT ECONOMIC STIMULUS. HOW ABOUT IF EVERYONE GETS... |
| 01:15:44 |
|
I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT CAMPAIGNING IN HOW MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THE NEXT ELECTION IF NOT THIS ONE... |
| 01:16:21 |
|
JOHN WILL ANSWER BECAUSE HE HAS HAD EXPERIENCE. |
| 01:16:24 |
|
70 SOME PERCENT OF THE PUBLIC WANTS THIS. THIS IS SHOWN UP IN POLLS SINCE 1944. THAT'S THE REASON... |
| 01:16:42 |
|
SMB LOGGING ON THIS ISSUE WE'VE SEEN ALL THOSE CHANGES OF THE PRIMARIES. WE WANT TO BE RELEVANT, WE... |
| 01:17:06 |
|
THIS GENTLEMAN HERE AND THEN THIS LADY HERE. |
| 01:17:19 |
|
I JUST WANT TO THROW OUT THIS IDEA. HE MADE IT VERY CONVINCING HOW THIS NEW SYSTEM WOULD DO AWAY WITH... |
| 01:18:20 |
|
AND EVERY VOTE IS EQUAL AS IT WAS INSIDE THE STATE OF OHIO. CLEVELAND DID NOT CONTROL THE OUTCOME.... |
| 01:18:52 |
|
THIS IS AN ARGUMENT THAT CONSERVATIVES MAKE. THE NOTION BEING CAMPAIGNING IN THE CIVIL POPULATION... |
| 01:19:46 |
|
JOHN MATTHEWS FROM NEW JERSEY. UNLESS I MISUNDERSTAND SOMETHING YOUR SYSTEM WOULD COMPLETELY ELIMINATE... |
| 01:20:33 |
|
NEXT I WILL HAVE EUBOEA SPEAKER. |
| 01:20:42 |
|
I AM LISA SCOTT ALSO WITH LEGAL WOMEN VOTERS AND HAVE BEEN IN THE MAGAZINE BUSINESS ABOUT 30 YEARS.... |
| 01:21:13 |
|
I THINK YOU'LL FIND THE ANSWER INTERESTING. THE ANSWER IN MARYLAND AND ILLINOIS ARE SIMILAR. OUR... |
| 01:23:07 |
|
ONE OF THE WAYS TO GET IT OUT , COMMON CAUSE IS NOT SO NEW TO THIS ISSUE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT OUR... |
| 01:23:51 |
|
I AM FROM NEW JERSEY, I'VE BEEN A CANDIDATE AND BEEN WITH DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICA. IRAN FOR THE NEW... |
| 01:24:50 |
|
WANT TO SPEAK TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AND MUSKETT TO THAT FIRST. |
| 01:24:57 |
|
WERE NOT PUSHING FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BECAUSE IT STATES CONTAINING 3 PERCENT OF THE AMERICAN... |
| 01:25:33 |
|
WE THINK THE EFFORT NOW TO PUT THIS IN PLACE BY THE YEAR 2012. WE TRIED OUT IN 2020 AND MY GUESS IS... |
| 01:27:05 |
|
STURGELL. OTHER THAN IN CALIFORNIA HAVE YOU HAD ANY DIFFICULTY WITH COMPETING IDEA ABOUT REPRESENTATION?... |
| 01:27:20 |
|
I THINK THE ANSWER IS NO I JUST HAVE TO CORRECT YOU, THE CALIFORNIA PROPOSAL WAS NOT ONE FOR REPRESENTATION.... |
| 01:28:02 |
|
JUST TO AUGMENT THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW COMPETITIVE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS SO EVEN IF IT WAS IMPLEMENTED... |
| 01:28:57 |
|
MY NAME IS PAT GREENWALD AND MY QUESTION IS FOR YOU. NOT THE PANEL. I AM IN THE MEDIA AND IT SEEMS... |
| 01:30:32 |
|
FIRST OF LOVE ME SAY THAT YOU RAISED NOT ONLY AN IMPORTANT QUESTION OF RACE AND A POOR IDEA FOR ALL... |
| 01:31:59 |
|
A VERY SHORT QUESTION. FROM WHAT I GATHER FROM YOU FEEL A THING THAT SEEMS TO BE STOPPING THIS FROM... |
| 01:32:21 |
|
YOU WANT TO ORGANIZE GROUPS? JOHN SAMPLE FROM THE CATO INSTITUTE HAS. ON SEVERAL PANELS AND TESTIFIED... |
| 01:32:46 |
|
I HAVEN'T CROSSED IT ANYTHING IN MASSACHUSETTS. I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE... |
| 01:33:18 |
|
, I AM WITH COMMON CAUSE IN NEW YORK. AS A VOLUNTEER. HOW YOU ACCOMMODATE THE FACT THAT STATES HAVE... |
| 01:33:44 |
|
THERE IS A QUICK ANSWER THAT ACTUALLY APPLIES TO A GREAT NUMBER OF QUESTIONS THAT COULD BE ASKED AND... |
| 01:34:19 |
|
NEW YORK'S COMMON CAUSE WORKS WITH THE DEVOS OFFICE IN NEW YORK. THEY ARE WORKING ON PARTICULARLY ... |
| 01:34:33 |
|
ONE OF THE SALUTATORY AFFECTS WOULD BE THAT OVER TIME YOU WOULD CREATE A NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO MAKE... |
| 01:35:09 |
|
WOULD YOU JOIN ME IN GETTING AROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR OUR PANELISTS. [APPLAUSE] YOU HAVE BEEN AN EXCELLENT... |
