Letter: Message to the Electoral College

Dear Electoral College Elector,

I've heard people hoping for a Donald Trump assassination or instant impeachment. Americans are terrified. Electors voting for Trump will be electing the most unscrupulous, immoral, lying, cheating, bigoted, narcissistic, sexist president ever.

Trump has ties to Russia and treasonous acts influencing our election. In a 2013 interview he admitted to a close relationship with Putin. Trump's campaign manager and his Secretary of State pick have ties with Putin and Russia. Trump invited Russia to hack American emails.

Steve Bannon, former head of the ultraconservative website Breitbart, is Trump's chief strategist. He denounces climate change and supports alt-right white supremacist groups which cheered their leader by raising their arm and shouting 'Heil Trump”. One of the nation's top climate skeptics will oversee the EPA. Protests against Trump have erupted in every major city.

Trump may eliminate ecological regulations and funding fighting global climate change. He may deport 11 million people in America and start a registry for Muslims like the U.S. did with Japanese-Americans or what Germany did with the Jews.

Trump appointed three Army generals making his cabinet resemble a totalitarian state, and hasn't produced tax returns to reveal business and conflicts of interest.

Hillary Clinton has over 2.8 million votes more than Trump in the popular vote. Please search your conscience as a member of the Electoral College and do the right thing on Monday. If you elect Donald Trump you will be personally responsible for what will happen.
