Why not protest FBI? - Demand Release of Trump's Entanglement Files

For all the protests I read about after Trump’s election, I don’t recall hearing anything indicating that those protests rose above venting, that's a big shame.  

What we need is protesting with a determined purpose - 

a reasoned legitimate demand. 

In front of the FBI and the CIA 

and where ever else needed, 

to drive home the case that We The People 

want the Trump’s Files released!  

We The People have a right to learn about 

all of Trump’s entanglements !  

NOW BEFORE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE MEETS!

This is for keeps!

Democracy Use It or Lose It!

The following is a collection of the articles I've lifted quotes from, I've also included links to their full stories.  I hope this collection will help inform.  Feel free to copy and pass along.  CC

Dem congressman: Electoral College has 'right' to weigh Russian hacking

By Kyle Cheney 12/10/16 

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/electoral-college-russian-hack-david-cicilline-232469

… Cicilline appears to be the first member of Congress and the highest-ranking elected official in the country to endorse the notion that electors aren’t simply rubber stamps for their states’ popular vote. Earlier Saturday, he retweeted a Rhode Island-based national security expert who argued that the intelligence community “must brief electoral college about Russia before vote.”

Cicilline’s comments come amid the explosive determination by the U.S. intelligence community that Russia interfered in the presidential election in support of Donald Trump. Trump’s transition team has forcefully denied the conclusion.

5 Ways to be a Silent Trump Protestor

The next four years are going to be a constant assault against all of the progress made in the past hundred years by women, minorities, LGBTQ folks, immigrants and democracy itself. Everyone who knows me knows exactly how I feel about the impending Trump Presidency, the NC GOP attempt to steal the Governor’s office and just about everything else. There are times (daily) when I feel bad about my constant posts & tweets about these things. Not bad enough to quit though! 

( CC:  Let's not forget the Republican willful disconnect from down to earth physical realities and the lessons that serious science has been learning about our planet and what we are doing to its near future habitability. 

Also, lets not forget the fundamental Republican attitude of elevating their personal faith to presumed universal facts that totally fly in the face of objective observations.  As reflected in their blind hatred for our Environmental Protection Agency, and the regulations that are intended to protect waterways and landscapes from poisoning.  Faith based greed and power-lust is all they seem capable of.

Do you want a government or a corporation of united states?  

Wake up America, it's your move! )

Not everyone can, or wants to be, this public about their political views.

“I’m an introvert and don’t feel comfortable putting myself out there.”

“Making my political views public will get me fired.”

“It’s not safe for me to talk about opposing Trump.”

Here are 5 concrete ways that you can actively, but privately, protest the Trump/Alt-Right/GOP takeover of America:

This is what democracy looks like - Peter Binary - Electoral College

The Electoral College is coming up fast.  It's important because Trump isn't President yet, it's a vote taken on Dec 19th that will seal our fate.  Peter Binary associate professor of political science at the City University of New York wrote an informative article about the Electoral College and looks at various aspects of petitioning them not to vote for Trump. Thoughtful reading from The Atlantic.  It's another bootleg, but I am posting most of it here with some added comments since Peter overlooked a few profoundly (national security) important issues that demand looking at before Dec 19.  Why elect an impeachable president?

Dear Atlantic editors,  will substantially reduce the following to acceptable limited quotes after Dec 19th, I beg your understanding.  CC/PM

The Electoral College Was Meant to Stop Men Like Trump From Being President

The founders envisioned electors as people who could prevent an irresponsible demagogue from taking office.

PETER BEINART NOV 21, 2016

Americans talk about democracy like it’s sacred. In public discourse, the more democratic American government is, the better. The people are supposed to rule.

But that’s not the premise that underlies America’s political system. Most of the men who founded the United States feared unfettered majority rule. James Madison wrote in Federalist 10 that systems of government based upon “pure democracy … have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property.” John Adams wrote in 1814 that, “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself.”

The framers constructed a system that had democratic features. The people had a voice. They could, for instance, directly elect members of the House of Representatives. But the founders also self-consciously limited the people’s voice.

America DUMP TRUMP - Electoral College lessons

 DemocrEC.org.  

I listened to this video interview of Amanda Werner, co-founder of the organization and found her well spoken and her ideas worth pursuing and supporting.  Then I went to their website to read more and was further convinced of the need to support this effort. 

This is exactly the sort of information that needs to be broadcast from a thousand beacons of hope in what promises to be a very trying period in American and world history, when the political might of the Oligarchs are going to do all they can to destroy anything that hinders their blind obsessions in any way.  

I've copied the following off their blog.  It explains their goals and the reasoning behind the effort and why some fights are worth the effort even if you don't really expect to win.  Go figure America.  It's your move.

Trump tells Americans: “The president can’t have a conflict of interest!”

How about if Americans tell the Electoral College to, "Dump Trump"? 

NOW is the time to think twice and vocally object before empowering this wanna be businessman dictator and Russian Obligate as the President of our United States. 

We The People Could do it.  

But Will We Try?

The Electoral College can Dump Donald Trump on Dec. 19. But will they? We spoke to one woman who thinks so. Amanda Werner is the Co-founder of DemocrEC.org, an upstart network of techie activists poised to lobby delegates to the Electoral College to reject Donald Trump when they convene in state capitols around the country on Dec. 19.

The Bottom Line:

A Trump presidency poses an unprecedented danger to our democracy and would be a clear violation of the will of American voters.
