Electoral Rebellion is Taking Off! But... tomorrow is cancelled.

Sorry folks, I've got the flu.  No POSTCARDS FOR DEMOCRACY party at my place tomorrow.  But we're still on for Sun. Dec. 11 @ 11 amand Wed. Dec. 14 @ 7 pm.
BUT.... It's really happening!
#1:  A Texas elector has broken ranks and vowed to vote his conscience in a NY Times Op-Ed!:
TEXAS ELECTOR ABANDONING TRUMP

AND.....

#2:  The Change.org petition people are planning demonstrations in all the state capitols, where the electors vote, on December 19!  Sign their petition if you haven't, so you'll get further notification of their plans:
CHANGE.ORG PETITION


AND.....

#3: A new group, the Hamilton Electors, are getting attention working on an electoral revolt.  They are basing their protest on the fact that, according to Alexander Hamilton writing in the Federalist Papers, the Electoral College is necessary precisely to PREVENT a demagogue from taking office!   And Trump certainly fits the definition:  a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument.
