You help built momentum for a proper electoral system instead of the garbage we have now. I blows my mind that after centuries we still have something as idiotic as the electoral college, and all the imbalance it brings, in our nation.

Yep: http://www.nationalpopularvote.com/

If your state's signed on, great, you're done.

If your state hasn't yet signed on, call up your legislators, write to them, get your pals to do the same.

Make noise, make it clear this is an issue they should start caring about.

How is getting rid of the electoral college going to solve the problems you identify above? You do realize that it only affects the election of the president and vp? Do we imagine that lobbyists will be unable to adjust to a world in which those two positions are elected in a slightly different manner? All this true-though-trivial "every vote should matter" stuff is just the sort of distraction from reality that lobbyists love.
