Not Going High - open letter to President Obama






Dear President Obama:

You and Hillary Clinton have dedicated yourselves to serving others. It is time now for us to stand up for you. I must reject your plea to “go high”, unite with fascists, and support the alleged winner of the presidential election. 

Donald Trump is unqualified, in every way, for the job. It is probable that he had assistance from Russian hackers, and that his promise that this election was rigged was literally him telling his supporters not to worry because he had it rigged. 

Already, the rest of the world knows that nearly half of the voters in this country voted for fascism and that probably cannot be repaired easily. We must show them that we will at least attempt to use the electoral college, our safeguard against such a horror, to right this wrong. We the people owe it to you to protect your legacy, to Hillary Clinton to secure her popular vote win, and to the world to protect them from a man who does not have the temperament or self-control to be Commander in Chief. 

If it is not possible to delay the electoral college vote until after the Russian interference and voting errors are thoroughly investigated, I ask you to appeal to the electoral college, on behalf of the voters, to do the right thing and vote for the qualified, popular vote winner who best represents what this country has always been. 

For the sake of this earth and humanity, I implore you to do this. Because I can’t survive without Medicare and Social Security, I beg you to do this so I can live. 

If there is anything that we, the voters, need to do in order to make this happen, please advise. There are petitions but I doubt that is the proper route. 

Thank you.
