Anyone else participating in Ides Of Trump day today?

Thousands of people have committed to mailing a post card to the White House today. What is written on the postcard is less important than the goal to flood the White House with mail from resistors, to show Trump how many of us are opposed to him. I mailed off three postcards today; one from me, one from Mrs. Aristus, and one from both of us, urging him to resign.

Anybody else?

I joined in 2001, after floundering around for a few months, feeling lost and alone.

DU has kept me going through difficult times. And has been there to help me celebrate in good times (2008 & 2012, naturally...)

It's grown out of sight now.

We've all had good times and bad together...

We're not always sane, but even insanity can be politically therapeutic sometimes...

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't heard of it.
Now that I have, I'm in.

Does anybody think Trump will actually read them?

The goal is to flood the White House mail office with so much paper that the Resistance (remember there are three million more of us than there are of them...) can no longer be ignored.

I take that as a good sign. Oh, there was a run on the glory hole postcards at the drug store, too. Suck on it Trump.

I do not like your thing for golden showers
I do not like your collusion with foreign powers
I do not like when you make no sense
I do not your VP, Pence
I do not like you Donald Trump
I think you are a great big Chump.

It will be spun.

"I have the greatest supporters, fantastic, believe me, they send me the greatest numbers of postcards ever the other day."
