12/29/16  To-do List                                                                  

There is no special way to attack this action list. If it seems overwhelming, just do the first two items to make it easier.  If you have a little more time, do the third….and the fourth…. Or, choose items that speak to your heart.  Some people cut and paste the list, print it off and take it with them so they can check items off while they are out and about during the day and just waiting or driving.  Others click and do items as they work on their computer or phone.  There is no right way to do this.  Just do something!  Remember, too, that many of the suggestions made on earlier days are still doable.

Please remember that due to all the petitions and joining we’ve been doing over the last several weeks that we are now on many email lists for organizations that will most likely be seeking end-of-year charitable donations.  While it may make for some less-than-desired email, please give what you can and be tolerant knowing that these organizations do so much good on our behalf.

  1. Another effort to bring attention to the need to stop the certification of the Electoral College vote on January 6, please send this email message to these three Washington Post reporters:  “Please look into the actions of Mark Pinsley, Unite for America, PA and others who are working on a petition to stop the vote in congress on Jan 6th, so that the full membership of Congress can spend 2 hours discussing voter suppression and foreign intervention in this years election.   https://goo.gl/AwzpPt“ Use these three email addresses at the Washington Post:  Adam.Entous@washpost.com  and philip.bump@washpost.com and Fahrenhold@washpost.com
