Abolish The Electoral College In All 51 States

I believe that abolishing the electoral college will give the people of the United States of America their voice on who they want to choose as their next president of the whole country.  Since the country was founded by our four fathers, the electoral college purpose was to elect the president without the people's vote, only the people who had property that eligible to vote.  By then, Andrew Jackson proposed that the common people should have it, his vision didn't happen until he became the President of the U.S. in 1829 and the people had a voice for their first democratic president, who invited everyone that voted for him to see their president being inaugurated to the White House.  In 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt gave voice to the common man when the whole country started to realize about the difference between the rich and the poor, and executed a plan to break up monopolists because of the way that the titans of industry did back then from the late 1800's to the early 1900's.  During the 2012 Election, alot of angry voters who wanted Mitt Romney to be president, instead their voices weren't heard when Barack Obama was elected to his second term.  Some of the angry people wanted to secede from the country because of Obama's re-election, obviously it didn't and shouldn't happen again, we will remain united like Abraham Lincoln did back in the Civil War, but I ask you this America, what system would you use to make voices heard for the next presidential election, the electoral college or the popular vote.

For a couple of years now, we have heard that Puerto Rico wanted to become the 51st state.  It was settled that the referendum will take place on November 6, 2012 in Puerto Rico so that the island can decide to become part of the Union, an independent country or a sovereign free state.  On December 11, 2012, the country decided that they want to become part of the Union.  I pray that Puerto Rico will become the 51st state.  We will their voice and they will be answered.

Dear Congress,

































































































































































































































































From what I know, people hate for what the electoral college does since our four fathers established our great country and needs to be fixed by allowing the popular vote is the main system of voting and allow Puerto Rico to become the 51st state.

































































































































































































































































Sincerely,
