Top Republicans pushing plan to change the way Pa. elects a president
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/pennsylvania/20110914_Top_Republicans_pushing_plan_to_change_the_way_Pa__elects_a_president.html
A brigade that reads like a who's who of legislative Republicans wants to do away with the winner-take-all system of apportioning the state's electoral votes and replace it with one that would do so by congressional district.

Democrats counter that the proposed change is not only blatantly political - designed to give GOP candidates the edge - but also bad for Pennsylvania, as it will diminish the state's role in deciding who occupies the White House.

2. Yeah, that'll stop 'em
If there's one thing guaranteed to stop a fascist coup in it's tracks, it's a petition.
