ezs note:  In my (very) humble opinion, this film is one of the very best in skewering that blowhard, chipmunk-brained, pseudo-president Donald Trump.  It also calls to task Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham for the charlatans they are.  In six minutes.  Whether the person who sees this film is non-religious, semi-religious, or fully religious, this is essential viewing.  If you feel so moved, spread this film to all your friends.

Let's stick a fork in this blowhard.

My letter to Mayor Shari Cantor


Credit:  http://we-ha.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/town-hall.jpg

Ms. Cantor: 

I gave this a great deal of thought, but I have decided that it is time for me to request that the Town Council formally request Rep. Larson to begin impeachment proceedings against Mr. Trump.  This is not without precedent.  Alameda , CA and Richmond, CA have issued formal requests to their representatives (http://abc7.com/politics/another-california-town-votes-to-impeach-president-donald-trump/1793184/) and Cambridge, MA will likely consider such a move.  (http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/impeach-trump-cambridge-mass-weighs-calling-probe-1.3351253) Moreover, retired justices such as James C. Nelson and president of Free Speech for People David Bonifaz are urging impeachment proceedings begin immediately in Time magazine. (http://time.com/4658633/impeach-donald-trump-congress/)

In short, I urge West Hartford's Town Council to do its duty and start its process in removal of Donald Trump from office.  Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Emily Shorette
