plan of action - august 14, 2017

Charlottesville


Unlike POTUS45, the Governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, has spoken out strongly and decisively against the white supremacists whose hateful actions caused the mayhem in Charlottesville. McAuliffe did not pull any punches - he clearly named, identified, and blamed the true perpetrators.

Action:

1. Contact Governor McAuliffe and thank him for his robust and timely words. You could also thank him on social media.

2. Contact Trump and condemn his flimsy response, which seems to suggest that racial bigotry is only one among many problems which may have caused the riots. A White House spokesperson said, "The president said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred. Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together." Lame.
