AN AMERICAN CRISIS

This is not the first time America has faced severe adversity towards its democracy. At the very beginning in 1776, once the Declaration had been made, it had to be put into effect. That required a revolution. Many people died, and some stood by.  Thomas Paine, English born, American activist, was only too well aware of the difficulties and, as a theorist, activist and writer, he provided the appropriate call to join the cause:

These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. 

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

So do not despair, but get out and shout  “Donald Trump – You’re Fired!!!”

The public should inundate the white house with letters and emails with just that sentiment.
