Stand Up Citizen
As we approach the 2020 election, a podcast for ordinary citizens to help sort through our fractious politics, and their distorting effect on how we make our choices.. A non-partisan look at American first principles - not an academic exercise, but a reminder on what our founders intended and expected of us as citizens. Founding documents will refresh our civics IQ, so we can look critically at our current issues. Think of Stand Up Citizen as civics for grownups.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We review the founders design for the electoral college method of electing the president. Selections from Hamilton's presentation of the electoral college give us insight into how the process fit in the entire Constitutional scheme. I hope this will allow us to look critically at how our process, installed and influenced by political parties, compares and whether it constitutes an example of operator error on our part.
