in the United States House of Representatives, though regardless of population, each state is guaranteed a minimum of one seat. The Electoral College is the body that, every four years, elects the President and Vice President of the United States. Each state's representation in the Electoral College is equal to that state's total number of members in both houses of the United States Congress. By the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution, the District of Columbia, which lies outside of the jurisdiction of any state, is granted as many votes in the Electoral College as is given the state with the lowest representation in that body. Thus the total representation of the College is 538 members (equal to 100 United States Senators plus 435 United States House of Representatives, plus 3 members for the District of Columbia). The 11 most populous states have a majority of the electoral college votes, enough to elect the President.

With this Census information you could estimate what the cost could occur in a particular state per database of consumer's being served knowing that not all the population will be affected can only give you an approximation. Overhead cost versus operational cost and serving the consumer's support makes you realize that with some values the foundation must limit its cost factors, overall regional support centers would encourage togetherness and support for consumer particulars. There will be a few days which hardship could actually limit the support if there were a large amount of Grants to process per state but that is what Regional Centers are suppose to fundamentally watch over so the assets can balance in due time. Consumer's are encouraged to provide a donation with each Grant they are considering so to befray overhead costs while some consumer's may donate simply because they want to and there is nothing wrong with donating to this foundation project to see that it can be successful. Success is all the more reason why everyone should consider their contribution making it all possible. The future for America will come about with a combined effort to support the consumer interest of Electric Vehicles and Hydrogen/Natural Gas type Hybrid Electrics using Fuel Cells. In this effort I am working on creating The Electric Vehicle Free Conversion Foundation (EVFCF) which would gear towards extensions in all states and is solely a donation based funding organization that will support consumer's fully year after year following their completion of the Grant Process. This Grant Process is a application which serves as the contract and gives the foundation the right to convert a consumer vehicle and is of no cost plus for the first year a Warranty is given at no cost, for each following year a small amount of $500 is provided from the consumer for Extending this Warranty and comes with several main points for consumer's to be attentive of, so if they have Internet Access or not this is considered for a response from the foundation's support group which handles the testing, test equipment costs, some overhead expenses and service if necessary of the components of the vehicle, really is nothing to complain about so now just insure the vehicle and your done for a year. I welcome your suggestions and support, do this in your state for me and The Electric Vehicle Free Conversion Foundation (EVFCF). This is the Age of a 'New Industrial Era' and because our population will be increasing our needs of One Million to 10 Million New Vehicles on our highways is absurb, we must begin converting vehicles now to conserve our resources for larger projects like new bridges, new homes, new businesses, new ships & submarines. My Project Plan observes this 'New Industrial Era' and so should all American's it can provide Jobs too. Welcome Aboard. It amazed me to learn about your anger against Yahoo but I understand this fully as I have seen Jerry Yang & Carl Icahn are just not the personalities America deserves that could manage well into the future Yahoo interest which I now view as to outspoken using a exclamation mark in its name and then trademark and this I am opposed to. I fully participation in The Pickens' Plan and hope to have a 100,000 force backing The Electric Vehicle Free Conversion Foundation (EVFCF) as soon as possible. Businesses throughout America and Individuals all can donate. I was told by Ballard in Canada (Tue, 29 Jul 2008) that it sold the company's automotive fuel cell assets to Daimler AG and Ford Motor Company. The transaction includes provisions that prevent Ballard from competing in automotive markets as long as it is a shareholder of the private company, Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation Corp. and that one concern makes me wonder how a large business like Ford Motor Company which has its own foundation could make such a demand to Ballard with all the other vehicle manufacturers having their products sold to consumer's as well which really is not competing with others at all, if Ford does not get the issue The Electric Vehicle Free Conversion Foundation (EVFCF) creates to apply to its past customer's then their past customer's are at a loss indeed. This is another reason that the foundation project needs to make an applied effort to help Canadians so this does not come to a giant misconsideration, I support the ideology that what we do here in America other nations can consider themselves and the provision which Ballard asserts to me seems to provocatively isolate them from the Canadian capability and this is wrong because it is not a Automotive Market and has no Stock Plans now or near future. Maybe you should write Ballard a e-mail asking them how they feel about the issue of being eliminated from helping Canadian Consumer's, I did not do that to them. Big issue I bet this just can't iron itself out without condemning both Daimler AG and Ford Motor Company because of their Automotive Market prospectus for Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation Corp. and I got a reserve on hold right now which would certainly make it a failure in the future esp. in regards to Mass Transit if a Automotive Market consideration and undertaking were to develop and I will write you about that. Ouch is the word I would use, and angry is a word it has made me towards the idea of such a provision because of a Stock matter. It is almost like having a pension in the United States Postal Service and them writing a provision that I cannot do business with United Parcel Service (U.P.S.) nor FedX and DHL USA or DHL Global Web Site, DHL International GmbH (Select Country). Why, because in common they are carriers and shippers and would be provisioned. I hope Ballard can claim against provisioning tactics. Please do not limit consumer freedom, it is their choice to not have to pay high prices at the pump to consider a different vehicle and should not be some idea that a business has to make it a better option for them, stocks have little to nothing to do with the success or failure of a business and for this reason do not support provisioning lockouts of professionals that really have a right to seek employment and make their life easier regardless of the matter of their owning stock in a particular automotive market. Helping consumer's is what this all boils down to and that is no real big task to accomplish financially we all are helping as much as we can to the issues that we are facing in the future. I can't imagine how a single business could manage to consider itself as the only option investors should consider. Life's bumbs and scraps are not going to endure in America for long so don't force the issue on the people in another nation as they to soon will realize the future must not depend on high prices form products that they are in need of for use. Transportation matters are no different from any other product or service consumer's have a need for. I hope you agree with my recommendation, donate today.
