Rational people do not knowingly risk their health and safety---their very lives---unless it is seen

as necessary to avoid or defeat a greater danger. I believe that the delay or cancellation of the election scheduled in November OR Trump refusing to accept his defeat present such a danger.

Would it be unreasonable to ask a million or so of you to mask up and peacefully but loudly descend upon the White House should either of those threats be acted upon?

And if some red states decide to postpone, their votes won't count, so we win bigger.

It’s for the good of the country and life as we think it ought to be.
