Not Now National Popular Vote

On 2/1/2007, I sent the following as an attachement to the three CT legislators who are sponsoring the National Popular Vote Agreement. Thus far two of the three have replied, one with a boiler plate response saying he would review my comments when the bill gets to the General Assembly and another whose assistant forwared my comments to my Senator.
My summary and request sent in the e-mail:

SUMMARY OF MY CONCERNS
Today the Electoral College protects “We The People” from our faulty and fragmented voting system. Implementing a national popular vote at this time would put at risk the integrity of the entire election process. If the votes of all states were accumulated toward the national popular vote the impact of errors, voter suppression, disenfranchisement, and fraud would be compounded; incentives for voter suppression, disenfranchisement, fraud and contesting election results would also increase.

MY REQUEST
I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this bill with you for 10 minutes. I am prepared to talk with you at anytime and can be reached at 860-xxx-xxxx. Please e-mail or voice mail a time that would be convenient for such a call. I am also prepared to meet with you any time after 2/10 as I am currently out of state, on vacation.
