Dear US Senator, (An Open Letter)

How fast would you fire a teacher who told your kid to drink bleach?

I’m contacting you to let you know that Trump’s action in the White House are reprehensible and unacceptable. We the people, want to fire him as soon as possible. That means that EVERY state in the US needs to have a VOTE-BY-MAIL option by November 3, 2020 so that American Citizens can vote him out of office.

Bottom line, we need to #FireTrump now. The Election is Tue. Nov. 3rd. We need VOTE-BY-MAIL in all 50 states. Pre-emptively, let’s discuss the “Fraud Argument” often brought up by Republicans to DISENFRANCHISE PEOPLE OF COLOR from our right to vote. Senator, we the people are smart enough to figure out how to have a valid and fair election. Just in case, here are my considered solutions:

  1. Countless US Citizens Abroad have voted with the Absentee Ballot from overseas and military bases for decades. through Absentee Voting. We’ve never had a problem. We know it works.
  2. Perform an accurate 2020 Census. If you want to know how many citizens there are in each county, COUNT US ALL in the 2020 Census. After that, you can stop counting votes when they hit that magic number.
  3. Create a new VOTE-BY-MAIL option for November 3, 2020. This requires we keep the United States Postal Service (USPS) open for business. Trump is already trying to shut the USPS, the most egalitarian institution the American people have.
  4. A VOTE-BY-MAIL option is Russia and cyber-tampering proof.

Fascism, Racism, hate-mongering and blatant stupidity are unacceptable methods of running the United States of America. The world is watching us. We are failing our children. WE THE PEOPLE, DEMAND ALL SENATORS WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE A VALID, FAIR ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 2020. Get to work. We deserve better.

All US Citizens

It’s clear by now, to most of us, that we will not be back to normal right away. COVID-19 is still highly contagious and has two known mutations so far. That means long-term planning for civic partition is necessary. I don’t care what your political leaning is, WE  NEED A NATIONAL VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT IN ALL 50 STATES.

The time to organize this is now. We will not be able to vote without it. I’ve been voting by mail since 2003, when I lived overseas for two years. The Russians will have a very hard time tampering with the United States Post Office. Here is how we get this done:

  1. Contact all 100 US Senators. Demand the VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT IN ALL 50 STATES, Nov. 3rd, 2020. (https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm)
  2. Contact all our mand US Congressional Representatives. Demand the VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT IN ALL 50 STATES. (https://www.house.gov/representatives)
  3. Call relative in other states, make sure they Register to VOTE.
  4. Call relative in other states, make sure they also call their representatives to demand the VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT IN ALL 50 STATES.
  5. Keep the USPS open so we cast our ballots. Trump is trying to close the United States Post Office. That is the only way to keep your vote.

Exercise your right to vote. Organize NOW to make history Nov. 3rd, 2020. Our lives depend on it.
