Silent thread in support of continued telephone calls, emails, letters to US Representatives and

Senators regarding the unfitness of Trump to carry on in office.

When Trump arrived home after his trip abroad, he declared victory. He used the word 'home run.'

The trouble is that it was not a 'home run' in any sense of that word for us, the American people. It was, however, a home run for Vladimir Putin.

Look at the facts: Trump goes to Europe. He elbows aside the prime minister of another nation. He calls Germany evil. He leaves NATO allies wondering if the USA will support that alliance.

I'm old enough to remember the Cold War, folks. I know that Russia is a hostile power. Putin wants to recreate the old Soviet empire, or perhaps become the new Tsar of a new Russian Empire.

To do this, he has fooled the Republican party and enlisted an American president - a president, for God's sake! - to do his will.

DON'T let this become normalized. It is NOT normal in any sense.

Therefore, I urge you to pick up those telephones again and again and again. Call at least once a week.

We are all Americans here, and we are being influenced by a hostile foreign power. Until that stops, everything else is moot.

And show up weekly at their local Congress person's office.

Another town hall tonight and rally directly after work.


Now is the time to reload the activism - not retreat!
