I've seen so many scams (for lack of a better word) like this. "Just X more signatures..." "We're 98% of the way there..." "If you can refer us to 5 of your family and friends..." and then the fundraising spiel kicks in.

Money makes the world go round.

Eliminating the EC is more like a 25-30 year goal. (Or more?) The amount of change and set up we need is staggering to get there.
