Fellow Petitioners, This past Thursday, December 15th, General Powell received the "Great American Award" from the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, I took the opportunity to convey our request for his leadership on his Facebook page. The comments I made are below. Thank you for adding your name and sharing our petition. Here's to hoping that efforts like ours will positively affect the electors' votes on Monday. - Frankie Ridolfi (Oakland, CA) ---- Dear General Powell, Congratulations on your Great American Award! 36,000+ people have signed my petition requesting that you demonstrate your leadership once again. Would you do America the great service of publicly urging the electors to vote their conscience on Monday and block Trump's presidency? Would you also voice the need for electors to have some form of security briefing regarding the impact of Putin's interference? Electors need to know that respected leaders across the political spectrum support them in exercising their Constitutional duties. Thank you, sincerely, for considering our request. - Frankie Ridolfi and 36,875 fellow Americans
