Dear Representative John Lewis,
I have been outraged by your statement that Donald Trump is not a legitimate president-elect. Maybe you did not realize that with this statement you insulted almost 63 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump. And what are your grounds for making this statement? Maybe you, like some liberal media reported, believe that Russians hacking the DNC server discredited Hillary Clinton, therefore helping Trump to win. Let me assure you that Hillary Clinton did not need help from the Russians to be discredited. She does it very well herself. You might say that Donald Trump is not a legitimate president because he lost the popular vote. Well, that's exactly why our founding fathers had the idea of an electoral college, so that smaller states have their voice counted as much as the voices of bigger states. You, as everyone else, know that Mrs. Clinton won the popular vote thanks to two states- New York and California. And did she really win the popular vote. Considering that these two states are among those not requiring the voter id, who knows how many people, who did not have right to vote, voted? And who knows how many people voted more than once - in different districts or even different states?
You, who are considered the fighter for human rights should be ashamed that you want to deprive almost 63 million Americans of their basic human rights - to have their votes counted and mean something.
Anyway, Mr. Lewis, whether you like it or not, tomorrow Donald Trump will become the 46th President of the United States.
For you and some other democrat Congressmen to skip his inauguration is un-American, disrespectful and just plain stupid.
It would be so much better for the country if you work with the President rather than against him.
Sincerely,
Frustrated but Hopeful
Cincinnati, Ohio
