Barack Obama has not yet been re-elected president.
Yes, the election is over – but remember, a presidential election in America is not by popular vote. We vote for the candidate, but what we are really doing is voting for the electors who will meet on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December.
That is when the actual re-election of the president occurs.
Is there a way to stop this?
Yes, there is.
And the best part – this is totally constitutional.
The 12th Amendment of the Constitution as well as Article II of the Constitution govern the Electoral College.
According to the 12th Amendment, for the Electoral College to be able to select the president, it must have a quorum of two-thirds of the states voting. If enough states refuse to participate, the Electoral College will not have a quorum. If the Electoral College does not have a quorum or otherwise cannot vote or decide, then the responsibility for selecting the president and vice president devolves to the Congress.
The House of Representatives selects the president and the Senate selects the vice president.
Since the Republicans hold a majority in the House, presumably they would vote for Mitt Romney, and the Democrats in the Senate would vote for Joe Biden for vice president.
Can this work?
Sure it can.
Democrats have actually set this precedent of refusing to participate to deny Republicans a quorum. They did this in Wisconsin and in Texas. Why can’t we do this with the Electoral College?
Mitt Romney was a terrible candidate, and he will not be a great president. But he will be infinitely better than Barack Obama.
So how do we do this?
Mitt Romney carried 24 states. We need to have conservative activists from all over the nation contact the electors, the Republican Party and the secretary of state in all of these states and tell them not to participate in the Electoral College when it meets on Dec. 17.
If we can get 17 of those states (just over one-third) to refuse to participate, the Electoral College will have no quorum. Then, as the Constitution directs, the election goes to the House of Representatives.
That is how we can still pull this election out and make Mitt Romney president in January.
We need this concept shared with every tea party, liberty and patriotic group throughout the country. We have time to act, but we must pressure Republicans to do the right thing.
It does not matter who gets credit for this. The credit is not important. Using our last chance to defeat Barack Obama is important.
Far too often the Republican Party seems more interested in losing gracefully than winning and governing.
This is our last chance. We the people must contact the electors, party officials and secretaries of state from every red state and insist that they refuse to participate in the Electoral College.
We can still save America and use the Constitution to do it. But this truly is our last chance.

Tax the Rich: An animated fairy tale
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=S6ZsXrzF8Cc
Ann Coulter: America Nears El Tipping Pointo I apologize to America's young people, whose dashed dreams and dim employment prospects I had laughed at, believing these to be a direct result of their voting for Obama.
Jackie Gingrich Cushman: In Leadership, Appearances Matter Last week, I was exiting my neighborhood Starbucks when I happened to overhear a middle-aged man talking to a younger man who appeared to be his son.
Victor Davis Hanson: The Kingdom of Fairness We are still borrowing more than $1 trillion a year. Barack Obama has added more than $5 trillion to the national debt in just his first term alone. Such massive borrowing is unsustainable. Someone somehow at some time has to pay it back.
Kurt Schlichter: A Lawyer’s Tips on Negotiating for Dummies and Congressional Republicans Somewhere, there’s a whiplash lawyer who runs his law office out of a van down by the river who watches the congressional Republicans attempt to negotiate the fiscal cliff crisis and has to turn his head away. John Boehner and his inept coterie of GOP establishment cronies have made every mistake in the book. It’s professionally embarrassing. Frankly, if these hacks were my associates, they’d be on a street corner with signs reading “Will litigate for food.” 
Larry Elder: Rich Lefties and Their Taxes Ah, the hypocrisy of tax-hikers who do everything they can to avoid the taxes they wish to impose on others.
Michael Barone: Higher Tax Rates Won't Support Entitlement State The fiscal cliff negotiations seem to be foundering on Barack Obama's insistence on higher tax rates on high earners and House Republican leaders' insistence on opposing them. The president believes he has a mandate from voters for his position, and House Republicans believe they have a mandate from voters for theirs.
John Ransom: Justice? Not in Chicago The judge, the special prosecutor and everyone else who let this case go forward aren’t political novices. Nothing happens in politics by accident. Not in Chicago. Files aren’t lost and special prosecutors aren’t assigned unless “someone” knows “something” about it. 
Michael Reagan: Restoring Confidence Help us, we’re falling and we can’t get up again. Once upon a time -- in 1988 and 1998 to be exact -- the United States was the best country for a baby to be born and raised in, at least according to The Economist magazine.
Cal Thomas: No Skin in the Game An Internet search is inconclusive as to where the phrase "no skin in the game" originated. Some ascribe it to the late columnist William Safire; others to investor Warren Buffett. Politicians often use the phrase to justify policies to their liking. It can also be applied to the latest in a long list of their outrageous behaviors, as well as to those of President Obama. 
Matt Towery: "The Forgotten Collective Generation" Gets the Shaft Regardless of how the so-called "fiscal cliff" ends, one thing is clear: The combined group of Americans whose age comprises either the last few years of the "baby boom," which is said to have ended in 1963, and most of the so-called "Generation X," which followed and ended in 1984, will collectively get the worst end of a deal that, as a whole, they do not want -- when and if ever Congress and the president quit playing their games of alternative threats and capitulation.
Tony Katz: Costas To America: You're Just Not Smart Enough To Understand Bob Costas, just a few days after giving a cultural soliloquy during a halftime break regarding the murder/suicide of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, and the need to eradicate our society from guns, has managed to continue his elitist climb, claiming that the "audience" is to blame for the follow-up brouhaha about his comments. Like a good elitist, Costas is blaming his audience.
Daniel J. Mitchell: Exposing Washington’s Dishonest Budget Math This sleazy system is designed in part to deceive the American people, and the current squabbling over the fiscal cliff is a good example. The President claims he has a “balanced approach” that involves budget cuts, but look at the second chart at this link and you will see that he’s really proposing bigger government. 
Steve Chapman: Defending the World, Bankrupting Ourselves The argument for leaving 10,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 2014 is more or less reasonable on its face. The Kabul government is fragile; our gains might be reversed; the Afghan military is not ready to stand on its own. Here's the unreasonable, unavoidable part: If we don't leave then, we probably never will.
Nathan Slaughter: A Leading Company Cheaper Than 90% Of Blue Chips... And It Recently Bounced 12% Here's the best part: pessimism surrounding a temporary market overcapacity has cut the stock price in half. 
Paul Tracy: Revealed: A Top 10 Stock for 2013 That's Raised Dividends 40 Times Each year we publish our annual "Top 10 Stocks" list. Put simply, these are the 10 stocks my research staff and I think have the best chance of beating the market in the coming year. 
Emmett Tyrrell: The Mysterious Stranger Washington-Jeffrey Hillman is a man who shambles the streets of New York City looking quite unkempt, drab, and hopeless. He panhandles sometimes and mutters to himself. Frankly, he looks a wreck and apparently is often in need of a pair of shoes. On cold winter nights he gets them.
Charles Payne: War on Capitalism There is a growing consensus that profits should max out at some point and anything beyond that point is greed - the kind that hurts Americans. 
Michael Brown: Murder, Suicide, And The NFL Plays On Last weekend, just 24 hours after a tragic murder-suicide committed by one of its own players, the Kansas City Chiefs played their Sunday football on schedule.
Frank Gaffney: Obama's Global Makeover In an impromptu conversation with Joe the Plumber during the 2008 presidential campaign, candidate Barack Obama famously and unintentionally acknowledged his support for redistributing the nation's wealth. And he has been hard at it ever since.
Cliff May: Islamology 101 Google “Islamist” and you’ll get more than 24 million hits. Google “jihadist” and you’ll get millions more. Yet I bet the average American could not tell you what it is that Islamists and jihadists believe. And those at the highest levels of the U.S. government refuse to do so.
Maggie Gallagher: Hollywood Searches For God Have you noticed how much of Hollywood is preoccupied with thoughts of God?
Bob Beauprez: The Renewable Fuel Standards Boondoggle “This is a problem EPA could have, and should have, resolved by now,” said American Petroleum Institute (API) President and CEO Jack Gerard in September. “EPA’s failure to act quickly could raise the cost of making fuels in the United States.” 
David Rothbard: Saving the Planet – Or Protecting Power Grabs and Cash Cows? Doha sets stage for another environmental power grab to “prevent dangerous global warming” 
Jack Kerwick: GOP and Big Government - Friends Not Foes? “The Republican Party is no longer the party of limited government, with limited spending and limited taxes. It is now officially exactly right behind the Democrats—on everything. It is time for conservatives to start looking for a new home. There’s precious little left for us here.” Thus spoke Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center and long-time movement conservative. 
Night Watch: Protestors Give Egypt's Morsi "Last Warning" Their main complaints are President Mursi's assumption of dictatorial powers in order to install democracy. They also denounced the process by which the new constitution was drafted.
Carrie Schwab Pomerantz: Happily Unmarried: What Are the Financial Issues? There's no clearly defined legal structure for the division of property for unmarried couples. So it's up to the two of you to figure out what's fair to you both and create some guidelines, realizing that as your relationship grows, your decisions may evolve.
Chris Poindexter: Gold Edges Higher Hopefully some of you managed to lock in prices on a small buy when price dipped under $1,700, although where we are today is still not bad for an entry point. 
Mike Shedlock: Are Austerity, Shrinking Wages, and Firing of Public Workers Bad Things? Latvia has a flat personal tax, low corporate tax, fired one third of civil workers and the results speak for themselves: low inflation, high growth, and politicians re-elected. 
Bob Goldman: Good Night, Moon; Good Night, Laptop Considering just how many of your habits your partner already finds annoying, I suggest you turn your side of the bed into control central anyway. It could take your partner's mind off your other bedtime activities, such as home canning and sushi making.
Thomas Sowell: Fiscal Cliff Notes: Part II One of the big advantages that President Obama has, as he plays "chicken" with the Congressional Republicans along the "fiscal cliff," is that Obama is a master of the plausible lie, which will never be exposed by the mainstream media-- nor, apparently, by the Republicans. 
Michelle Malkin: Christmas for Obama Bundlers Merry Crony-mas! It's time to pass out the goodies. While President Obama's lips champion the middle class, his administration's old hands are preparing to lavish rewards on the creme de la campaign creme: his wealthiest political donors.
Walter E. Williams: Future Generations Is there any reason for today's Americans to care about what happens to tomorrow's Americans? After all, what have tomorrow's Americans done for today's Americans? Moreover, since tomorrow's Americans don't vote, we can dump on them with impunity. That's a vision that describes the actual behavior of today's Americans. It would be seen as selfish, callous and ruthless only if it were actually articulated. Let's look at it.
Mike Adams: A Queer Need for Rejection Whenever I write about the issue of First Amendment Freedom of Association, I defend the right of campus groups, not government administrators, to control their own belief structure and membership requirements. 
Marybeth Hicks: A Parent's Potshot Heard 'Round the World Here’s my theory about viral emails: There are only two reasons emails go viral on the Internet. They’re either too good to be true or they’re so true that they simply must be shared. Think about it.
