It's well known that Anuzis' consulting firm, Coast to Coast Strategies, is still on retainer by those pushing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC).  The NPVIC is perhaps the single most diabolical effort in this nation's history that has as its clear goal the overthrow of the sole remaining intact constitutional protection of state sovereignty . . . the Electoral College.  (Yes, the Tenth Amendment is still there, but until the Seventeenth Amendment is repealed, the 10th is somewhat toothless.)  Bypassing the Electoral College will mutate our federal republic from a union of individually sovereign states into a monolithic direct democracy, and in the entire history of mankind no direct democracy has done anything other than destroy itself . . . only republics endure.

As I said, it's well-known that Saul Anuzis and his firm are being paid to consult for, and lobby on behalf of, the NPVIC.  What is not necessarily well-known is that the Tea Party of West Michigan has exposed Tom Pearce as a paid lobbyist on behalf of the NPVIC (and perhaps even on the Coast to Coast Strategies payroll directly).  What I suspect is happening here is that Mr. Pearce is now working to retain Mr. Anuzis in his office as Michigan's Republican National Committeeman, because this provides the National Popular Vote crew with some semblance of credibility which would be immediately lost if Mr. Anuzis were to be defeated.

To go back to where I started, it's perfectly fine for Mr. Pearce to advocate for the election of whomever it pleases him to, but I think the reader should be aware that there may be more to this advocacy than meets the eye.  Which, when dealing with Saul and his crew, isn't really a surprise.
