Now that we’ve had sometimes to
process this information, we can note that the things in the media are pretty
scary. This isn’t good nor is it right on either side to ever resort to
violence. We know that the Trump side will do just that and we need to keep out
of their cross hairs. BUT let’s not drop to their level and do the same to
them. Avoid or ignore them when you can, fight only if you must.
Everyone needs to be in this
together. We are stronger together than a few here or a few there. We as a
people must let those who hate, for whatever reason, know that they are wrong. Hate is
never an answer. The first thing we must do is to get behind some cause we
support. Chances are many of those same people won’t sign petitions, won’t
support causes and that’s neither here or there. What is important is what YOU
do. Don’t worry about them. Worry about what you do, what the person in the
mirror is committed to doing and we’ll get through this just fine.
On the agenda today are some articles
and petitions that have been passed along to me during this second day. Some
will make you cry, some will make you mad but all of them should make you
motivated. I also want to let you know this blog has become part of my personal
action plan to take back my America. Yes, it’s an America for all BUT without
the hate and bias that some seem to want. That never works. People do want only
the good for our country and yes, we all have different opinions. We all need
to work toward that and only that.
Here’s a petition to change how the
Electoral College votes. In recent years, we all know that there have been two
presidents that lost the election even though they won the popular vote. That’s
wrong in my opinion. The will of the people should always come before anything,
providing those people are willing to air their griveances. Anyway, figure out
what’s best for you. Sign it or don’t but at least look at it, form an opinion
then move on to the next thing. http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/11/9/1594792/-The-surprisingly-realistic-path-to-eliminating-the-Electoral-College-by-2020
Also with the petition above is a
website that explains what the popular vote really is and why the electoral
college needs to change. http://www.nationalpopularvote.com/
Here’s a petition regarding the
environment. I must confess I am going to do some more research into it as I
hadn’t heard of this particular group before. I can tell you that when I am
writing petitions myself, a lot of them will be regarding the environment.
Again, look at it and decide what is best for you. It would be nice if Obama
could sign a few things to make the environment safe for a little while longer.
But Trump needs to know this…he has a major fight on his hands if he tries to
make things worse in this arena…millions of us won’t stand by and let him do
it. http://www.obamaactonclimate.org/
This is more scary than anything
else I will show you today. Some pretty sad things happened yesterday. Protests
happened all over the nation, and that’s fine with the exception of Oakland,
most of them were pretty peaceful. But these articles and imagines, they are anything
but peaceful. If President-elect Trump doesn’t stop this now, there will be some
sort of meltdown. And it won’t be good. I mean, nothing in this world makes the
second article’s first picture remotely right in my world. You can’t tell me
that things won’t escalate. It’s going to get ugly before it gets better.
Here are some general articles for
your reading pleasure, or not so much but they are things that need to be
shared.
