Please consider signing this new petition urging the federal electors who are meeting in their respective states on December 19th to exercise their constitutional power—and responsibility—to then uphold the public trust and preserve our great democracy by voting for anyone other than Donald Trump for President on December 19: https://www.change.org/p/electors-of-the-electoral-college-electors-exercise-your-constitutional-duty-to-protect-our-democracy-5d47fbb3-b2cc-4997-9c55-9d519857d640 As described in this new column, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/58425058e4b0cf3f645589ed?timestamp=1481062002938, the Electoral College system was created by our founding father’s to stop a man like Donald Trump from poisoning our democracy safeguard our democracy. They created a fully independent role for electors and ensure that they would not beholden to presidential candidates or political parties. As Alexander Hamilton, the founding father who explained the purpose of our constitutional elector system in the Federalist Papers #68, the electors were specifically created to use their independent judgment to act as a circuit breaker against exactly the sort of system rigging, foreign intrigue, and demagoguery that has brought Donald Trump to power. Trump’s unwillingness to fully divest from, or even divulge, in his tax returns, his many foreign assets and secret foreign loans would make him the most corruptible, inscrutable, constitution-defying American president in history. Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution stipulates that no federal office holder can receive compensation from foreign governments. Trump has repeatedly demonstrated through his actions that he is willing to betray the public trust to expand his personal wealth. Please consider signing and sharing both this petition, and article!
