Rogan's List

12/10/16  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! 

1. With the new information about Russia interfering with our election, it is a good time, for either the first or a repeated time, to contact the electors and urge them to do the right thing and not certify Donald Trump.  http://www.asktheelectors.org/

2. While our legislators in Washington have ended their current session, let us not let up on our senators and representatives over this break by letting them know loudly and often that this issue with Russian interference needs to be addressed by EVERYONE!  http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/chuck-schumer-russia-senate-election-inquiry-232464

8. Since Twitter is the social media of choice of our PEOTUS, perhaps getting on board with that would be a good move for all of us.  It is a very good way to keep up on news by following a variety of people and organizations.  If you are not currently a Twitter user, here is an introduction to get you started!  It really is easy, but you need to learn to be concise in your limit of 140 characters.  http://www.steamfeed.com/how-to-twitter-guide-for-twitter/  By the way, DT Twitter name is @realDonaldTrump
