* The Electoral College: Misconceived or Misjudged?

* The Electoral College: Time to Abolish It?

* The Electoral College: An Approach for Real Change

* The Electoral College: “Fixing” it in a Good Way

Some of you don’t have the time to read each of the articles, others may not be inclined to explore the issue in depth, and others may already know the background of the Electoral College. As a result, TJ has prepared a 7-minute synopsis to save you time or provide you with INSIGHT.

In any event, the Electoral College is neither perfect nor worthy of being discarded. It serves a serious need and merits consideration concerning how to improve it. If the audio synopsis whets your appetite, you can always go back to the articles to gain additional INSIGHT.

California has massive challenges, most of which are politically self-imposed. Unfortunately, members of Congress have a limited direct impact on their district’s issues. However, they can dramatically influence the direction of those issues and establish better structural representation at the federal level.

Mr. Maxsenti discusses what he can do as a member of the United States House of Representatives to help his congressional district (CA-47) and the rest of the country move in the right direction. He brings interesting ideas, integrity, and a positive attitude to the fight. I’ll leave it to you to determine whether you agree or disagree with his position after you’ve benefited from his insight.

During his candidacy, he’s gained a real-world education in party politics. He shares what he’s learned and how it impacts the quality of the candidates that voters are even allowed to consider.

His interview is open and informative. As a result, I thought that it should stand on its own. However, Mr. Maxsenti’s position on the issues remained to be addressed. I am pleased to say that he was willing to join me for another segment that will air tomorrow.

I think you will find Part 1 to be quite informative, and I hope you will join us again tomorrow for Part 2.

You intuitively know that elections cost money… lots, and lots of money. If you are even minimally active, one or both of the parties will undoubtedly solicit your money until you want to scream… or give in. If it’s the latter, it’s probably because they broke your will over time, or scared you with a fear tactic, or even convinced you that “if you don’…

Even though we pay their wages and their only job is to represent us, members of Congress enjoy a special status. They can’t be bothered with the types of laws they pass for us. They deserve something better. Luckily, they can exempt themselves from the rules and regulations they impose on us and craft much more attractive alternatives that apply only t…

* Mr. Fishback shares “insight” into how he would address the State’s issues of:

* Affordability,

* Immigration (particularly with respect to H-1B visas and foreign scholarship within State universities),

* The impact of AI on Florida’s youth, its power grid, and water supply; and

* Housing (including eliminating property taxes and the speculative acquisition of private residences by corporations).

Mr. Fishback also addresses some of the controversies that have been raised surrounding his candidacy, including his:

* Ballot eligibility,

* Education and experience,

* The basis of litigation with his previous employer, and

* The forced liquidation of two of Azoria’s funds.

He asserts that he has closed within 10 points of the early favorite on the Republican side (Rep. Byron Donalds – Florida’s 19th District) but does not reference the poll. As with any candidate, I always recommend that you listen to his positions and then research the issues and his answers before reaching a conclusion. Only then will you be in a position to develop a well-informed decision... which is the purpose of INSIGHT.

My guest is the Honorable David M. Walker, the former Comptroller General of the United States and CEO of the United States Government Accountability Office under Presidents Clinton and Bush (43). He shares his “insight” into:

* The ongoing Government Shutdown (and simplifies the issue);

* The requirement to convene a Convention of the States to consider a Fi…
