ezs note:  Here in Connecticut, things are really OK for me.  Even with Trump coming in the White House, there is a solid wall protecting me and others.  However, I realize that things aren't so lucky for others.  Not all Republicans are so dense - but they make up a LARGE majority.  Which is where YOU come in.  At the VERY least, you should call or email YOUR Congressperson.  If he/she visits your area, go if at all possible and SPEAK.  

Why?  Because it's YOUR right - don't throw it away!
