President-elect Trump, bring America together! 

“It’s time for us to come together as one united people.” These are words from your presidential acceptance speech of November 9, 2016, and we believe in them! With the hard-fought campaigns behind us, now is the time for Democrats and Republicans to work together for a common national good. As president, it is your responsibility to pioneer efforts to unite the country. 

The tension in the country has reached a boiling point. The Bible teaches us that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Despite differences across political affiliations, race, ethnicity or religious beliefs, we are all God’s children, and we must work together for forward progress.

We believe that your election was the result not of a campaign but of an incredible movement, and that that work is just beginning. That said, you have a mandate to work together with Republicans and Democrats to unify our country. The goal you have set out to rebuild the country and restore the American dream can only be fulfilled when the national divide is healed.

We are asking that you set the example for unity and singleness of purpose for the nation. We are tired of bickering. As president of all citizens, you have been entrusted with the responsibility to promote unity in our country. We are requesting that you:

a)   Use Twitter as a tool for peacemaking and example setting to achieve the project of national healing. 

b)   Make good on your election night promise of reaching out to all Americans, including those who voted against and opposed you.

We believe you will succeed if you set your mind to unifying the nation. You are a good person with a good heart, clearly motivated by a sincere passion to make America great again. We believe you will succeed, but the first step is making national unity a priority.
