This keeps the power in the states\, providing both a check and a balance on our national politics.\n \nBut the Electoral College is under attack. A group called “National Popular Vote” or NPV wants state legislators to do an end-run around the Constitution. They would have states agree to ignore how their own residents vote and instead give away their voice based on the national total. This would shift political power toward big city political machines and lead to centralized control of our elections in Washington\, D.C.\n \nSave Our States is pushing back. We educate citizens and policymakers about the importance of states in our “compound republic\,” and how critical it is to preserve the Electoral College.\n\nTrent England\nThe Executive Vice President at the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs\, where he also directs the Save Our States project and is the David and Ann Brown Distinguished Fellow. He is an adjunct fellow of New Mexico’s Rio Grande Foundation.  \nTrent was previously a candidate for the Washington State House of Representatives and a contributor to two books—”The Heritage Guide to the Constitution” and “One Nation Under Arrest: How Crazy Laws\, Rogue Prosecutors\, and Activist Judges Threaten Your Liberty.” His writing has also appeared in the Wall Street Journal\, USA Today\, Washington Times\, Hillsdale College’s Imprimis speech digest\, and other publications. \nTrent holds a law degree from The George Mason University School of Law and a bachelor of arts in government from Claremont McKenna College. He lives in Oklahoma City with his wife and their three children. \nNicholas Giordano\nProfessor of Political Science at Suffolk Community College and host of The P.A.S. Report Podcast.  Recognized and well-respected for his analysis\, Professor Giordano appears on radio and television to provide analysis on current issues and trends within government\, politics\, international relations\, homeland security/emergency management\, and social/cultural related issues. In addition\, he is regularly called on to speak at events to provide expertise on critical issues facing the United States. \nIt is Professor Giordano’s passion that led him to start The P.A.S. Report. Sick of an advocacy news media that wants to dictate how to think\, Professor Giordano started The P.A.S. Report because of his unique ability to breakdown complex political issues and explaining those issues in a way to appeal to everyday Americans. By introducing facts\, the listeners can come to their own conclusions. \nFollow Nick on Twitter @PASReport or visit his website pasreport.com \nJerry Matacotta\nHistorian and Founder of the acclaimed History Seminar Series at Queensborough Community College since 2000. Studied at University of Virginia\, Yale and Oxford University. M.A. in History from New York University\, 1967.  Matacotta worked 32 years for New York City Department of Education primarily teaching High School American History\, and other roles including dean\, head of curriculum development team. He was a presenter in the annual Jefferson Symposium at University of Virginia along with the distinguished historians\, Jeremy Black and Peter Onuf. He is a Collegiate NCAA Volleyball coach and athletic administrator since 1988. \nMatacotta participated in a panel discussion at Fraunces Tavern in Manhattan “Grading American History Education” with Gabe Pressman\, a prestigious NBC reporter. He was debating panelist\, James Loewn of University of Vermont who wrote “Lies My Teacher Told Me\,” which denigrates America and history teaching. Professor Matacotta masterfully challenged his thesis and defended history teachers in America. He revealed the disconnect between high school history teachers and radical college professors of the ivory tower who are not concerned with teaching good citizenship and the heritage of our great nation. Afterwards\, Pressman shook his hand and praised him saying: “you’re the kind of teacher we need today and you’re the kind of teacher I had when I was in school.” \nTaught in inner city public schools in Greenpoint\, Williamsburg and Bedford-Stuyvesant\, Brooklyn. The only criticism he received was for teaching public school students on a college level\, because the convention wisdom was that kids are incapable of learning on a higher level. Meanwhile most of his students graduated and some went on to higher education to receive M.A. and PhD degrees. \nInspiring teacher of history to people from all walks of life. He has been called “everyone’s teacher.” He makes history come alive. His students have commented that if they only had teachers like him in public school\, they would have appreciated history early on. People have said taking his class is like watching an actor performing live on stage.
