I admit, until the Election, I felt the same way a lot of people did about the Electoral College. I thought this was rigged system that didn't represent the people.
Boy was I wrong. I admit, I WAS WRONG. I was ignorant of exactly what it was BECAUSE I believed what I was told; that the United States of America, this wonderful free country, was a DEMOCRACY and not a REPUBLIC.
The size of the United States (3.797 MILLION square miles) with a population of 320 MILLION + people is not conducive to a total democracy. That would only work if the entire United States was divided into exact equal states with the same amount of people in each state.
That way, each state would have equal representation during all elections. The way it stands now, Texas, Florida, California and New...

Trump isn't president yet. All we are seeing is how he will set up his cabinet and that he is trying to fulfill his campaign promises.
What we haven't seen yet is how he will address abortion, immigration, the environment, housing, crime, terrorism and the list goes on.
We all give previous presidents a chance. Why can't we give him the same chance?
I know he isn't taking the media on burger runs. Sorry about that.
Sorry that he has taken to ranting on Twitter because people keep pushing his buttons instead of talking to a media that has already made up their minds about him.
Hopefully he will work within the government and not have to use executive orders to pass his ideas on how the United States should be run.
I don't know what type of job Trump will do BECAUSE...

Open Letter to My Fellow Filipinos(The Pro administration and the Opposition)
Sa mga Pro Duterte Aministration and to those against the administration, bakit nga ba tau nag aaway-away at nagmumurahan na kadalasan nauuwi na rin sa personalan? Bakit nga po ba tau galit sa administrasyon o galit sa mga taga opposition?
Nagkakasakitan na po tayo physically,personally,mentally and emotionally pero sigurado po ba tayo na alam natin ang pinangagalingan ng ating mga galit at sigurado po ba tayo na alam natin kung ano ba talaga ang ating mga pinaglalaban?
Doon sa mga galit sa administrasyong Duterte at galit sa pagpapalibing kay Marcos, Kilala niyo po ba o nasaktan po ba kayo personally ng Administrasyong Duterte o ng pamilyang Marcos kaya kayo suklam na suklam sa kanila??? O galit...

Dear Donald Trump Voter,
Almost a month has passed since the election so we have all had time to think,
process, and accept the results of the election. You may have had your celebrations of your candidate winning, as well as Clinton supporters have had the time to grieve their loss. We have all had the opportunity to see the ways this election and the results has affected our everyday lives whether it’s been through social media, the news, or from our family and friends. This election has most definitely brought out the worst in some people. It has torn apart friendships and relationships and maybe even families. At the end of the election it seemed like you were either one or the other, a Trump supporter or a Trump hater, right? If you thought Trump was the lesser of the two evils,...

Dear Sir and/or Madam:
I am a social worker, and I am pro-choice. Let me be clear… I am pro-CHOICE and NOT pro-abortion. There is a very, very big difference. In fact, I can’t think of a single person that I know who is pro-abortion.
“Hey, Sandy. How are you? Oh? You’re having an abortion?? That’s so WONDERFUL!! Good for you!!” or
“You’re pregnant?? Oh, I really think you should have an abortion. It’s the best thing ever!”
Yeah… no one says that. However, I do know a lot of people who believe that a woman should be the person responsible for making decisions about her healthcare and her body.
Apparently, you aren’t one of those people. In fact, you want a law that prohibits a woman from having an abortion pretty much as soon as she is aware that she is...

We are getting close to the Electoral College vote on December 19th and I keep seeing everyone venting their opinions about who they need to vote for and I keep wondering one thing...WHY is your opinion the only important one?
Why can I not have an opposing opinion and be treated respectfully for having it? Can I not choose to make a decision that impacts my life and the lives of my family? WHY are YOU the only one who can make that decision?
I keep reading the news, letters on here, watch TV and am wondering why doesn't my opinion (vote) matter if I chose to vote for Trump? Why am I a DEPLORABLE just because I want a job that pays more than minimum wage, want a president that doesn't have to use executive orders to pass his will (ideas) for how the United States should be run...

Dear Tomi Lahren,
Just so you are aware, approximately 4.2 million black children live in poverty, which is 4 times the rate of white or Asian children living in impoverished conditions. Also, I just want you to know that schools where the majority of students are black receive less funding per student when compared to schools where the majority of students are white. I would also like to point out the statistics that black youths are victims of violent crimes at significantly higher rates than their white peers. As I am sure you can comprehend, given the fact that you seem like an intelligent human being, all of those environmental stressors can do a lot of negative harm to a person. However, this is where I am sure we disagree. You, like many others, probably cast blame on the...

Dear Vice President Biden,
I hope and pray this letter finds you in good health and strength. I write this letter with great sincerity in asking for your help. Last year you came to The University of Pennsylvania Hospital located in Philadelphia Pennsylvania where I currently work and told us that A Cure for cancer is needed. You told us the importance of the fight and most of all you insured us that enough lives have been claimed to this horrific disease.
I believe that a cure is evident. I have worked in the Cancer filed for approximately 10 years. Many can’t understand why my passion is so great towards fighting this disease, but this simply something I cannot turn off. For 10 years I have watched my patients bravely fight for their lives and most of all look to an end of this...

Dear members of the Electoral College:
On December 19th the world will be watching with bated breath, desperately clinging to the hope that a requisite number of you will put your humanity ahead of politics and choose the right side of history, rather than engage in the archaic and undemocratic (note the popular vote) ensuring the disenfranchisement of over 2.5 million Americans who did not vote for an ego-maniacal sociopath, but voted for progress, for tolerance, for a brighter future. Please put an end to this insanity and save us from utter catastrophe. I'M BEGGING YOU! It's obvious to those of us living in the rational world, not stuck in a satirical reality devoid of facts and basic human decency, that Trump is psychologically, temperamentally, intellectually, and morally unfit to...

Dear President Putin,
In the name of human rights and honest government, we hereby ask that you allow your intelligence services to leak to the below media outlets the true location of international hero Julian Assange who we suspect is now being aggressively tortured by U.S. government operatives. We and ANONYMOUS have accumulated substantial evidence and clues that Julian Assange was "rendered" from the Ecuador Embassy in London on October 17th, 2016 after President Obama conveniently,but falsely declared that Julian Assange was a "terrorist" (only to justify the rendition).
Please see these 5 links and do what our own American government will not - Tell the truth about Julian Assange:
