Why:

To change the way we elect the President of the United States.  National Popular Vote is a non-partisan effort to guarantee the presidency to the candidate who wins the most popular votes in all fifty states, preserve the Electoral College, and make sure every vote counts equally in every state and every election.  The National Popular Vote Bill would  guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states. As a result of this partnership, we now have teams in all 43 states that have yet to pass the bill. One person, one vote.
