Hi, all. I've just received this message from a friend with a list of phone numbers, email and physical addresses for electors most likely to be swayed. Tomorrow it is expected to be a snow day here in NH. I'm going to use the following sample letter with a more personal appeal and send that letter to these electors. A long shot? . But for the first time in my life I'm losing sleep over a president elect
Draft letter:
Dear [Name of Republican Elector]:
Our country is on the brink of a constitutional emergency which only the presidential electors of the various states thwart.
Donald Trump appears beholden to Russia and its leader, Vladimir Putin. We have just learned that the CIA believes Russia intended to undermine our election. Republican Senators including Lindsay Graham and John McCain are calling for hearings into the Russian hacking of the DNC and RNC email systems. There are known links between the Trump campaign and Russia, including former campaign chair Paul Manafort, who is reportedly under investigation by the FBI. Yet, when this issue was raised, Donald Trump entirely dismissed the value of US intelligence reports. In Federalist 68, Alexander Hamilton wrote that the electoral college should prevent the “desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils.”
Trump is also poised to violate the Emoluments Clause of United States. When he receives any payments "of any kind whatever" from a foreign leader or government, such as through his hotel, through his joint business ventures with governments, he will be breaking the law. In a letter, a bipartisan group, including six former Republican elected officials and including conservative Peter Schweizer, author of the book Clinton Cash stated that Trump must place all business assets and investments in a trust, and have an independent trustee dispose of the businesses and then invest the proceeds blindly. Yet, Trump has announced that he will not take these Constitutionally and ethically required steps.
I urge you to show your loyalty to the Constitution of the United States by declining to cast a vote for Donald Trump for President of the Untied Sates. In Federalist 68, Hamilton said that it is the function of electors “to assure that the office of the President will never fall to any man with talents for low intrigue.” Select a Republican other than Donald Trump when you cast your vote, or, if you are comfortable with following the popular vote— which shows 2.8 million more votes for Hillary Clinton- please do that.
In conclusion, I ask you again to consider your loyalty to the Constitution and to preserve the purity our Democratic processes.
Sincerely,
Yer John Hancock
