Keeping Our Power

“If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be

in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” ~ James Madison

I titled this post, "Keeping Our Power," and I mean it both metaphorically and literally. 

A few days ago, I was on the phone discussing Trump and Russia with a friend, and shared my prediction that something like this (see 12/30/16 WAPO article) was imminent.

Open Letter to the Electors

"You can't make this issue partisan. It is too important.

A fundamental part of a democracy is a free and fair election." - Sen. McCain 

I sent an email to the Electors via AskTheElectors.org. As a few have already bounced back, some email addresses are wrong. Many have auto-replies in place, likely due to the barrage of emails they're receiving.

Of course, after clicking send, I thought of additional things I should have said, such as:

• Trump is endorsed by the KKK. Hate crimes are on the rise since the election. His administration is rife with bigots: anti-gay, anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-Jew, anti-Woman, and therefore, anti-American.
