Dear Fellow American,

I am enclosing a survey on a very urgent matter.

It will only take a moment of your time, but the topic is vital to our nation’s future.

A movement is growing, led by progressives—but supported by many well-meaning Americans—to change the way we elect our president. In effect, it seeks to do away with the Electoral College as devised by the Framers of our Constitution.

That’s why Hillsdale College is conducting a National Survey on Presidential Selection.

By completing this survey and returning it to me as soon as possible, you will help Hillsdale College more clearly understand the views of mainstream Americans concerning this issue—views we will make available to policymakers and opinion leaders.

For most of our nation’s history, the Electoral College, as devised by the Framers of our Constitution, was not controversial. Indeed, it was considered essential to preserving free and representative government.

But today, more than a dozen states have joined together in an attempt to undermine this constitutional bulwark of liberty.

This movement to undermine the Constitution has grown largely because of the failure of America’s schools to provide young people with a proper grounding in American civics—too many Americans simply don’t understand the importance of the Constitution, including the Electoral College, to liberty.

Because of this, Hillsdale College has expanded its educational mission on behalf of liberty nationwide, directly teaching millions of Americans in all 50 states.

These efforts, which aim to counter the Left’s domination over most of our schools, include:

• Teaching millions of citizens nationwide through free online courses, such as “Constitution 101” and “The Great American Story: A Land of Hope;”
• Reaching over 5.6 million households and businesses nationwide with Imprimis, Hillsdale’s free digest of liberty;
• Promoting constitutional education through social media outlets popular with young people;
• Sending millions of pocket-size copies of America’s founding documents to citizens and K-12 schools across America, as well as to members of our armed forces; and
• Restoring excellence to K-12 education through Hillsdale’s Barney Charter School Initiative, which launches and provides guidance to classical K-12 charter schools nationwide.

Your answers to the National Survey on Presidential Selectionwill help Hillsdale form the most effective strategy to educate millions of Americans about the importance of the Constitution to liberty—including the importance of the Electoral College.

And this is especially important in this critical time for America’s future.

So please share your views on this urgent topic by completing our National Survey on Presidential Selection and returning it to me as soon as possible. It will only take a few minutes of your time.

You can take the survey using this secure link I’ve provided below:

And after you take your survey, I hope you will also consider supporting Hillsdale College with a tax-deductible gift.

Since 1844, Hillsdale has been “pursuing truth and defending liberty.” Today, it does so through its extensive educational outreach efforts, while refusing to accept ONE PENNY of government funding—not even indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants or loans.

The support of private citizens like you is essential to our work.

Please represent your state and take the National Survey on Presidential Selection today. Thank you for your time and attention—and for your friendship and support of liberty.

Warm regards,

Larry P. Arnn

President, Hillsdale College

Pursuing Truth and Defending Liberty Since 1844

Dear Reader,

Thank you for your recent registration with The Epoch Times. I hope you have just a moment to spare because I’d like to tell you exactly what you’ve signed up for. Why? Because The Epoch Times is different from any other news source in America.

My name is John Tang, and I’m the founder and CEO of The Epoch Times. I didn’t set out to publish a newspaper. In 1993, I had no money, but I had something even better. As a young doctoral candidate from China, I had arrived in the United States and discovered what it meant to be free.

I found living in America to be a life-changing experience. For the first time, I could speak freely, but I was saddened to think of people in my home country who would face grave repercussions for simply speaking out about their own government. I felt a calling to do something.

And so in the year 2000, The Epoch Times was born with the purpose of telling the world about the destructiveness of socialism and communism, and specifically, to expose the disinformation and human rights violations of the Chinese Communist Party and how it works to infiltrate other cultures.

From this humble beginning arose a great mission: to create a news source that would bring back the great American legacy of traditional journalism. As a media dedicated to truth, we pledged to report the news factually, honestly, and completely, without a political agenda. Today, we publish in 21 languages across 35 countries—always reporting the facts and upholding the best of what makes us human.

The past 20 years haven’t been easy. In communist China, it’s not uncommon for reporters who criticize the government to simply disappear. In Hong Kong, thugs have started a fire in our printing plant and smashed our presses with sledgehammers, in separate incidents. One of our Hong Kong reporters was recently attacked by another thug wielding a baseball bat. In America, some of our competitors in the mainstream media have attempted to smear us time and again. None of this has stopped us from striving to report the news precisely as it happened, unembellished by our own opinions. In fact, the more we are attacked for reporting truthfully, the stronger we become.

The Epoch Times is a media on a journey to bring traditional journalism back to America, where it is sorely needed, and to a world that is desperate for truth. We have set our goals high, and we know that we can’t accomplish this great mission without you. On behalf of our reporters, writers, editors, and researchers around the world, I invite you to join us on this journey.

In Truth and Tradition,

John Tang
