George Washington, John Adams, other founders feared the irrational mob, the temporary majority, that's one of the big reasons for the Electoral College.

The court needs to back the 10th circuit court decision with a clear ruling. 50 years ago every schoolchild knew one of the reasons for the Electoral College was to be a safety check against the mob electing a tyrant. https://t.co/6eTvxtCtol https://t.co/QFyVECUSKW pic.twitter.com/6Cgvr1BUGP

SCOTUS votes on electoral college.

@NinaTotenberg weren't we all taught in American history that the purpose of the electoral college was to be a final check on a tyrant that duped the electorate? I certainly was, so were @PollyBaca1 and I imagine many others of our elected representatives when they were not allowed to fulfill their moral obligation.

Create a Facebook Page for Your Neighborhood

You may be finding a bit of extra time right now.

Here's an idea for using it to help preserve and even spark the improvement of your local neighborhood.

Create a Facebook Page for your neighborhood.

You may have to first determine the name of your neighborhood, most of us don't know it, things have become so unneighborly.

Here's an example from Denver, Colorado, a Facebook Page for University Neighborhood. Check it out:

Why am I doing this?

People ask me, "John, why have you put so much energy into the Colorado Caucus. Do you plan on running for elected office?"

I'm 66 (when I first wrote this, 73 now), my time for possibly serving in elected office is over. But I want to make sure the system that gave me the chance is around for my grandkids.

My elected representative asked me to run for her seat when she decided to step aside. Betty Ann said she would support me if I wanted to do it. But the time just wasn't right for my family. Later I changed political parties, got elected to a leadership role, and ran in a primary election, just to show it could be done. I'm currently registered Unaffiliated.

I the little I can to increase the informed participation in our wonderful grassroots system for nominating to the primary ballot and electing leadership for the major political parties for two reasons: 1) I enjoy it, and 2) For the system to work, someone has to do it. My hope is that this website eventually serves as a catalyst for local community newspapers and others to give our biannual celebration of representative democracy, by far the biggest event in Colorado, a little more coverage.

If you are a common, average, ordinary person, like most of us are, your best chance of serving in elected public office is to get active in the major party of your choice and help all you can between now and the neighborhood meeting next spring.

I hope what is shared here by me and others will be of assistance to you getting started as a more active citizen, and that you, in turn, will pass what you learn along to others. You might start by sharing a link to this via social media and by sending an email to your friends who you know might have an interest in becoming a more active citizen.
