So, today, when I thought about it, I decided I had to put my best foot forward, and do what was right. Both Secretary of State and President Obama acknowledged that our heritage and hallmark as a nation is orderly transition of power. And that will occur with the results of this election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan described it well when he said that Donald Trump heard something in the voices of our citizens and resonated with those voices. And it is true, if there are voices that are disaffected in this country, by the rights granted in the Constitution of the United States of America, they should be heard.
My role, as a citizen, is to be ever vigilant. If there is any erosion of civil rights, if there is any deviation from the rule of law, if there is any abandonment of due process, if there is decreases of freedom, if there is any persecution of any group or individuals my job is to protest to the full extent of the law, and perhaps, beyond the full extent of the law.
This means I will need to make the necessary sacrifices if these thing occur.
A colleague told me that his thought to put a silver lining on this election result is that the House of Representatives and Senate are controlled by the Republicans, and a Democratic President would not be able to be very effective. He is right. What remains to be seen, is how effective President-elect Trump will be, and what direction he will take our country.
