Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Weekend of Destiny



If the allegations of Trumpian coercion of Electors are true, we have a national emergency.

For better or worse, and I think for the better in this case, The United States has a system of electing the President which involves an Electoral College.  I have earlier commented on this matter regarding the case of a stolen election.

It is difficult to put together the situation of vote suppression with the clear problems attendant to the Trump candidacy, to wit, the violation of the emoluments clause as well as foreign influence on the election.  Yet this is exactly the purview of the electors.  They have not only a right, but a duty to weigh all such serious matters in their vote on Monday.

Let us be about the business of supporting a fair, unhindered, and just vote by the Electoral College.
