2. America's Survival is Up to the People Now

Agree wholeheartedly, sop... but Americans can do a lot more to regain control over the madness!

One year into the Trump administration, not one branch of government-- Legislative, Judicial, or especially, Executive-- is adequately performing its official oath to defend&protect democracy and the Constitution. Today, the country’s greatest threat is domestic-- from a lying, demented, insane Executive branch; courts that are either hedging their bets, not acting decisively enough, or not defining and enforcing guaranteed sanctions if their rulings are ignored; and a Congress largely in thrall to a fascist administration and its advisors.

America’s best defense (if it ever wants to enjoy another free and fair election) is for every Democrat, Independent and Republican who has had enough of the administration’s dangerous insanity to speak out loudly, en mass, and all at once. To tell Congress and the Courts that their future jobs hang on doing what the majority of the people want… and not follow the illegal demands of an infantile leader.

It is easily done! Immediately and repeatedly:

• Phone the Congressional Switchboard-- (202) 224-3121. Tell your Capitol Hill Representatives and Senators that they will be “primaried” by the people themselves if they don’t immediately:
◦ Release the Epstein files with minimal redactions (and Trump’s name only redacted if he himself was a victim of abuse).
◦ Regain complete control over the federal purse strings.
◦ Retake their Constitutional control over War Powers and acts.
◦ Drastically slash funding to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (until they stop attacking and even killing Americans).
◦ Launch impeachment proceedings against (initially) Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth… for violating Americans’ Constitution, laws and civil rights.
◦ Impeach Trump if he attacks, invades or otherwise tries to “take over” Greenland or any other sovereign nation.

• Then, send duplicate messages to the same Representatives and Senators via emails and online Contact forms.
• And do the same for local state legislators.

This administration must be reminded-- broadly, loudly and repeatedly-- that despite their delusional leader’s constant lies, he did NOT win a “mandate” in 2024. He won by one of the tiniest margins in history. Margins so small that they’re “unlike anything anybody has ever seen before.”

And finally (for now), share this with other media and forums-- to spread the word as far and fast as possible!
