The Electoral College: It is time to get rid of it.

It is time for the electoral college to be eliminated. The president in the United States should be elected directly by the people. The framers of the constitution did not trust the general population with this decision. People like to throw the word unconstitutional around. They act as if the constitution was infallible. These people seem to forget that there have been amendments to that constitution. This is one of the many things that needs to be fixed in the politics of this country. This is supposedly a democracy. The only people who are truly represented in Washington are the rich and corporations. We also need to get rid of lobbyists. They are not the only cause of corruption in our government, but they have too much influence on Congress. We need to get rid of politicians who can be bought and replace them with ones who will truly represent the people. I do not know if this is possible, but I can dream.
