Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
"Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."
- Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926), five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President

Right. The Constitutional framework is federalism. The Federal government has only the limited enumerated powers stated in the Constitution. Most power to regulate and spend tax dollars lies in Art. 1, sec. 8.
The States and the People have all remaining power.
The electoral college is a reflection of this framework. The people's vote is actually funneled through the state via the electors who are selected and whose vote is governed by state law. If we eliminate the EC we are further eroding the power of the states and the Constitutional framework. The 17th Amendment has already cracked that framework and should be repealed.
