"To everyone who supported the Electoral College petition campaign and put their faith in us: 

Thank you for signing and sharing our petition. Thank you for speaking out against Trump and for sending messages of support our way. Thank you to all those who donated; we had more than 10,000 donors, with an average donation of about 26 dollars.

Your donations funded our daily operations, helped demonstrators get to state capitals, and, mostly importantly, made possible our print media campaign, which enabled our open Letter to Electors to be seen by millions of Americans in respected newspapers around the country. 

Thank you to the 15,000+ volunteers who took action — writing letters, making phone calls, and attending protests over the past six weeks and especially on Monday in state capitals. 

We could not have come this far without you. And we will continue to need your support in the days ahead. 

We have a fight on our hands, but we will fight it with the truth, with respect, and with passion.

For now, I know we all need a few days to celebrate the season and spend time with our families. Thanks again to every one of the nearly 5 million people who signed, for your hope and for your incredible support. 

Please stay tuned. We really are just getting started."

Tomorrow is the day on which the members of the Electoral College will cast their ballots for the next President of The United States. We need to be honest and realistic, chances for them to vote for someone other than Donald Trump is, I think, pretty slim. It is not impossible, but realistically speaking, it is improbable. I wish it would happen. Many people, millions wouldn't be scared anymore of what their future President might do or decide that would drastically and in a bad way affect their lives. The world will not fear if the next President will sabotage the research and steps that need to be taken to protect our global environment.


Tomorrow, peaceful protests have been organized in all states. Here is the list when and where exactly will it take place: https://electoralcollegepetition.com/calendar/#gs.sCE0DJY. Remember, these are nonviolent actions and everyone attending is asked to be peaceful and exercise lawful free speech.

Spread the word about these protests by joining the December 19 Facebook event.

Aleppo is a city in Syria. It is the capital of the Aleppo Governorate, the most populous Syrian governorate. It was Syria's largest city (with the population of 2,132,100 (2004 census)) and also one of the largest cities in the Levant before the advent of the Syrian Civil War.

Since the Battle of Aleppo started in 2012, the city has suffered massive destruction, and has been the worst-hit city in the Syrian Civil War. The Battle of Aleppo is a military confrontation between the Syrian pro-government forces of President Bashar Al-Assad (supported by Russia) and the rebels who have kept Aleppo under siege.


A cease-fire was brokered between Russia and Turkey late on Tuesday in order to make an evacuation possible for civilians from besieged districts. However, Syrian forces resumed their attacks again during the early hours of Wednesday morning, citing rebel fire.

'Make no mistake: What is happening in Aleppo right now—what no less than UN humanitarian chief Stephen O’Brien called “our generation’s shame”— is an atrocity. It is genocide. It is time to pay attention.'

Here are ways we can help people there:

1. By donating to White Helmets, a volunteer rescue organization in Syria with people who “deal with the aftermath of government air attacks” and who search through rubble for survivors, as well as help civilians recover by fixing up buildings and giving them medical care.

2. Doctors Without Borders provides medical assistance to any number of war-torn countries. Despite two of the organization’s Aleppo hospitals being hit by airstrikes in November, many aid workers have remained in the city and will continue to help its civilians.

3. Mercy-USA is building a health clinic outside of Aleppo “in the very near future,” and in the meantime it is continuing to give stoves and eco-fuel to internally displaced families.

4. UN’s refugee agency, the UNHCR, focuses on providing refugees across the globe with necessities such as hygiene kits, sleeping bags, and medicine. As of December 12, the organization was distributing relief items to the thousands displaced from Aleppo.

5. By sending money to the UN Human Rights office, which helps about 85,000 people whose rights have been violated every year.

6. According to UNICEF, 8.4 million Syrian children inside and outside the country are in need of humanitarian aid. Help UNICEF provide it to them.

7. Support the organization Syria Relief, an organization from Manchester, UK created at the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011. Their mission is to ‘relieve the suffering and support the future.‘ By providing emergency medical care, food, aid and education, psychiatric treatment to prosthetic limb clinics and sustainable livelihood.

8. By donating to Save The Children: 'Two million children and their families have fled Syria. Those still inside the country face shortages of food, water and medicines. They need our help now more than ever.'

9. By sending money to the organization Islamic Relief, an independent humanitarian and development organization whos mission is to enable communities to mitigate the effect of disasters, prepare for their occurrence and respond by providing relief, protection and recovery.

10. By donating to Karam Foundation: 'Help us provide aid to not only Madaya but also other "forgotten" cities experiencing brutal siege such as Deir Ezzor which we are providing aid in the form of food for families, infant formula, and winter relief for the innocent civilians suffering from hunger and cold.'

Yesterday, for the first time, a Republican Elector publicly declared that he won't vote for Trump on December 19th!


His name is Cristopher Suprun and he wrote an op-ed: Why I Will Not Cast My Electoral Vote for Donald Trump

Todays action will be focused to spread these news in the media. On the link above is a list of people you can tweet about this so they can write about it and spread the word themselves. You can also tweet the State Republican Parties and ask them to publicly affirm the Constitutional right of Electors to vote their conscience. Every detail is available on the link above.

There is only 13 days left. Let's make it count! 

My previous post was about a petition made by Daniel Brezenoff urging the Electoral College on the 19th December, to make a decision and choose Hillary Clinton instead of Donald Trump for President. There are numerous, in my opinion very valid reasons to do so. The petition has been sign by 4,707,019 supporters.
