PAST POSTS1. Yes, call and email the White House. https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact
2. Yes, call and email your elected officials, including Congress Reps and Senator.
Make sure your state reps know that you want them to prepare clear & concise objections to be made on Jan 6th.
Congress meets on Jan 6 to read the elector votes.Per § 15 "Upon such reading..., the Pres of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and w/o argument, the ground thereof. and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives"
3. Yes, write to the electors. http://asktheelectors.org/
You scroll down and click on "Voice Your Concerns" and fill in your name, city and state, and whatever you want to say to them. It's not a form petition. It can be as short as "Please don't vote for Trump" or "Please cast your vote for anyone but Trump" or whatever longer message you want to write. If you like, you can get ideas from other messages posted on the site.
After you've registered your opposition on the site, you have the option of sending your message directly to the Electors. You just click "Copy" next to the box containing their addresses and paste into your "TO" line; and then "Copy" again next to the box containing your message and paste it into the body of your e-mail.
Then you choose whether you just want to send the message, or also have it posted on the site.
4. Call the Department of Justice.
What you say is your choice.
If you want to know, we pointed out that:
Treason is the only crime defined in the Constitution. Article 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The emoluments clause of the Contitution requires we know what business the President does, and that requires we see his tax returns.
Here is the clause- "Emolument" means compensation for labor or services. And the clause says that "no person holding any office of profit or trust" shall "accept of any present, emolument, office or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince or foreign state" unless Congress consents.
This clause would apply not just to Trump but to members of his cabinet and appointees
We asked only that the investigation into Russian interference into our election be allowed to continue and no inauguaration of Trump be allowed to take place.
We also pointed that Hillary leads the popular vote by almost 3,000,000 votes.
