Hitting the road

Last year, in addition to our educational activities in Washington State, Save Our States visited Nevada and was assisted allies in Oregon and Colorado as well. While NPV was signed into law in Washington, it stalled in the other three states as legislators began asking questions and constituents made their voices heard.

So tomorrow I am on the red-eye flight to the Northeast (I hear it’s lovely there this time of year), where I will visit a string of state capitals to educate policymakers and the public about the importance of preserving Federalism and the Electoral College.

I’ll be updating SaveOurStates as I go, though we aren’t releasing many details of the trip in advance. My first two stops are Augusta, Maine, and Montpelier, Vermont. For more regular updates, follow Save Our States on Twitter.

Why Save our States?

The genius of the United States of America is that we are both United and States.

This system is an American original—no nation before ever set up government the way the American Founders did. And no nation ever enjoyed so much success.

The American system of states is called Federalism. One part of it is the Electoral College, the state-by-state way we elect the President of the United States.

Some 'reformers' want to unravel our American system of states. The Evergreen Freedom Foundation’s Save Our States Project is dedicated to preserving these structures for the sake of our liberty, security, and prosperity. Find out more and please join us.
