So far. That doesnt mean were not alone. More on the lake and ocean. A new eighteen i can in washington d c im going to france to watch our team. Im talking about the two thousand sixteen president ial election no im not talking about speculation regarding who might run or a grandchild and how it might affect a certain candidates political ambitions. Instead im talking about a movement is underway to fundamentally change how the us alexis president every four years the National Popular vote the kids to interstate compact movements. And while that might sound like a complicated jumble of words is actually Pretty Simple idea. It is time to replace the Current Electoral College system the country uses to elect its president mr called National Popular vote system as in whichever candidate thats the most folks around the country wins the presidency. As we learned in two thousand al gore winning the popular vote does not necessarily mean winning the laptop college and white house. The National PopularVote Movement wants to change that. Rather than pursuing a constitutional amendment to scrap tax which is very difficult and time consuming the group is trying to get a certain number of states to agree to a compact saying that they will all get their Electoral College votes. Not to the candidate who wins the state but instead to the candidate who wins the National Popular vote men can get enough states to sign on by twenty sixteen that it would make the Electoral College completely irrelevant before the next election this week the movement the debate this with the state of new york and its twenty nine Electoral College votes signed on to that contact. I enjoyed earlier by our chief political commentator sam sax break down what all this means for american president ial politics the first asks him where this movement currently stands and how close is coming to the pending deal a top college. Will there more than halfway there. This National Park we will move to accrue eleven states have signed onto it. You mention york to the latest it also includes washington dc. If you have all that all the states combined together have about a hundred have a hundred sixty five Electoral College votes. The point is to get to two hundred and seventy Electoral College votes he can get more state on board to get that number to seventy. What happen is all the states would agree together they would act as a voting bloc in the next election they would say hey were going to dollar votes to carry that wins the popular vote not to the candidate wins each of our states and theyd be able to swing the election board toward the candidate tom. We know that the oregon house has approved this or they might be the next day that goes into is the Oklahoma Senate has approved it. Um do is to stitch people fourteen Electoral College votes that could be added to the number and the governor of arizona jan brewer. He has said that she supports this idea so this could be another step in terms of the max actually true. Why get rid of the Electoral College experience beginning of a country like that where the strike is its a bit outdated and armenia was created more than two or thirty years ago now was created along with the wood with the senate with each taking two senators was sort of compromise to caught all the small five small states and slave states who had large portions of their populations not counted toward representations of that. This was the deal that brought them on board that the constitution to join the country. Um but its not very representative of the country. Because those two senators at all says to regardless of population factors in the states but pro college broke out in small states have an outsized influence in electing the president. Weve had four times in the countrys history when youve had any candidate whos gotten them of the National Park the robot theyve lost the election you mention of course most recent this most recent so nowadays has information is more readily available and was torn thirty years ago. You can devise a system set up. The National Popular vote of the American People is perspective when electing the president. Ok so lets talk about making this thing stand at the moment separatists use the interstate compact rather than a constitutional amendment. Ive explained the reasoning of the seat behind desks that are complicated for them to do that youll do this next april. This is a really good idea that theyre going about this said i joked about the cost of home and then its time consuming its very difficult its hard to imagine other. Post office remaining bills passing through congress nowadays what a loaded constitutional management which is what we would require congress to get on board that plus two thirds of states with a chapter at a price of thirty eight states have to abort that. Its basically impossible to do right now. This movement though if you can get an upstate city Court Ordered seven electoral votes in the can be as few as fifteen states to pick the right state of the retina electoral votes all the way up to the no fifteen to twenty to thirty. Either way its less than thirty eight you would need to get two thirds of its constitution so youre getting this and the fact we are doing it with a lot less work gallo more effective to stand up assuming that this movement succeeds how it changed it to future president ial candidates in this country. Right now we all know the election system here especially to Media Coverage that its like a circus called recovery the Electoral College. I was a circus booted two circuses narrowly focused on just a small amount of face right now in president ial elections are focused on about twelve battleground states like florida. Like michigan like ohio the state you are constantly in the last election. Um and they have the electoral votes they can just won an Election Year and then i think we have a map pictures these were the iranian brock obama scale official Campaign Events post convention in two thousand twelve and use it. They were relegated to just twelve states and in fact two thirds of all the good of the visits were just four states. Soo week if you were to change or National Popular vote was rather an Electoral College and these candidates would have to go all around the country that have to turn up the road. In every single state not just about over sajc democrats going to texas where they can hopefully get democrats to the polls and democrats would have their votes outweighed by the by the republicans in that state toward open up the game considerably. Yes thats a lot of times antonio campaign bus tour right now goodness and i are typical commentator sense i think you did a criminal case against the former blackwater Security Guard charged in the teeth of the seven killings of fourteen iraqi citizens in jeopardy the Appeals Court ruling earlier this month effectively terminated and slaughter attempted manslaughter and weapons charges against nicholas slot bill is described by prosecutors in court papers as one of them need anticipates in shootings saddams lawyers say the charges against him were dismissed in two thousand time and effort failed to ask an Appeals Court to reinstate them.

Go to auntie hiring this may sound crazy but breaking news alert cops in hawaii soon no longer be able to think that constitutes by on duty. Both chambers of the Hawaii State Legislature have agreed to restore a line in a pending bill that will make it illegal to have with prostitutes during an investigation. Kylie white please send to all prostitution mosque house bill nineteen sixty two was written to change that whelan told the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee heard of the Honolulu Police department cited the story they told him vice officers needed the exemption law to prevent pimps and prostitutes from knowing the limits of police methods. Yesterday rose change the minds of the bill will return to its original language. Police say their current internal policies prevent officers from using their legal right to have with prostitutes but said theyll drop their opposition to removing the exemption house and senate will not compile their two verses of the bill and one document vote and send it on to that. My son and is pushing down below for genetically modified food is concerned. I passed a bill on wednesday that would make it the first us state to enact mandatory labeling of goods made with genetically modified organisms noticed she announced. And it would make it illegal to describe any food product contained she announces natural or all natural. The bill approved in twenty eight to two by the senate has already passed the state house of representatives. It goes back to the house for approval of changes made in the senate now. If passed the law would take effect july first two thousand sixty. According to the National Conference of state legislatures are nice idea my labeling bills under consideration in twenty nine states where they have a chance of being passed is anyones guess but the high stakes to fight back in two thousand file ballot measures in california and Washington State and narrowly defeated among the opposition monsanto the Worlds Largest seed company and the Grocery Manufacturers Association an Industry Group representing package films which include huge amounts of genetically modified canola soy beans and corn. For unlike the labeling law could mean for the future of gmo foods and the us have destroyed earlier icc knockout who worked on californias right to know campaign advocating the labeling of gm owes in the states. I first asked her why the labeling law is needed for more. They shared a victory in vermont and its really the culmination of a Grassroots Movement across the country that can really going on for twenty years but has been building in tenth place in the last few years i like it and it turned out well when we ran about in michigan california. This is information that Consumers Want to have over ninety percent of people. Im consistently same poll after poll that came on gmo to be labeled in the us like they already are and sixty four other countries but we havent been able to get labels here because of huge money during campaigns by monsanto and the Pesticide Companies that are desperate to keep this information on food labels to vermont is really a huge breakthrough. I think its really the beginning. The crack in it down thats good result and i it was simple information going to consumers that we want about the food everything will be good to go skiing in california and one and one in washington back in two thousand tiles were narrowly defeated if vermont goes through the vent see a cascade of these bills being enacted into state law actually i think thats already happening in california was the start of it. I mean we ran about an initiative here. Also in Washington State the opposition spend over seventy Million Dollars trying to teach those bills and they just barely defeated them. I salute her go to the people in vermont. This is a mode of the legislature on in many other states are trying to get billed to the legislatures i embraced a huge support like i said were running a joke here in california. He will also see some more Ballot Initiative this year look like oregon and also possibly colorado will take a bow to the people on new moon its just not gonna let out people wanna know about you know some of the reading we have a right to know are reading you make those choices far south. I think this movement are labeling is unstoppable. This weekend. Bill was introduced in congress that they tend to nullify any state law that requires jim labeling this is large and largely backed by a lot of grocery manufacturers as you probably know one state be able to overcome National Legislation backed by industry powerhouses well that is that justin and call in and truly outrageous. I replied that theyre tying in washington d c and e did get a sponsor for that bill but there is no way theyre going to get that go to the house and senate there are strong champions in washington dc for gmo labeling on many senators who are committed fully to getting labeling and gm owes on and so i need to try in every way they can on that particular bill would make it illegal for states to pass liberal arts which is outrageous. I would also do other outrageous things like allowed them to college and most natural which they obviously are not on the vermont law that is good to be a close to passing look like it will also be making an illegal to college in the snapshot so you know it its a truly important time for this fight right now because theyre pushing hard in dc. Ive been spending so much money in every state thats trying to pass play bowling but were seeing the Peoples Movement is curtailing i dont think they can win in dc and i dont think they can win much longer at the state level on people i know its in there and i think it will win that turned the worlds Fastest Growing corn market china the past few months countries refusing refusing segments of the u s crop when any genetic modification has been detected in shipments. Some are questioning time is not as whether political or not by the trick this time in euro. Big trading partners for us they dont want these gmo contacts. Do you think refusing exports it comes to get a good price to laugh at the farmers cheese you use Market Forces can drive us ad companies to change their tune. Well actually i think farmers are bulgarian or rest are seeing whats happening in china or russia also note that one gmo exports to france just and the cultivation of gm owes mexico to mean there is a Global Movement away from gm most with many other countries have played either labeling or banning them and weve only seen him play around with a weak market eight billion dollars in u s wheat exports were put at risk when genetically modified wheat turned out in oregon a couple years ago and its not even legal to grow but it shows how out of control and he and most can get the jeans get intimate with him in a new new camps the project were there in the one and i think a lot of farmers are nervous about that theyre nervous about organic farms getting contaminated by gm is fast becoming a big problem. So im staying here a lot from foreigners from an intense pain bad. Farmers are moving away from gmo that the demand for conventional seed is growing up faster right now than they can chill and i think were seeing a huge shift of its coming from many areas of architecture consumer demand. Companies are starting to get nervous about having to most other food into the big brands are starting to move away from them too. Alright Environmental Health advocates dc mom can take you there.

I didnt get the colors are going toward teaching that came about in july. The thing that they would respect your agenda im sure thatll get the tree and that the project children about it gary and i think i did this. One of the co founders of the project was quoted by the prague that they need to let them do not think that this intention to get around you will want to learn more about aids. But critics say the project natal underlying objective is to convert non Muslim Children to cancel out by bringing probably a lot of messages in the school. They dont believe the co founder of words. I know what i read about it lah. For proof. With the fact of the group actually i had gotten into a unity between the ages of fifteen hundred to about thirteen. Her dream to attend a two hour presentation about it. Still hungry to learn about it. Why would you have to pay that much to do without it doesnt have that the logical question to ask how is why the of the us doing that. We have a lot to do with the fact that the Muslim Population grows in the czech republic. Since the population at large three dozen growth. He battled other women wearing headgear and overbooked. On the immigrant oh well i think the that the Muslim Community in the czech is not a debate and the emotion the us funded program is just another way to stir up the motion he stabilized the country to ensure that you have any binding the Program Began because no the men went and checked into the human fly more likely that our government is just trying to stir crap ill be doing all the time which encompasses the Fried Chicken that needed to hear and read.
