November 9 — from the rest of america: letters to donald trump

Dear President-Elect Trump,

"Consent of the governed"

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

This is a nation that created Donald Trump, lifted him to power, and allowed 59.6 million people to speak for 59.8 million others. Donald Trump has the consent of the governed. But while he has our consent, he does not have our blessing. He may not do whatever he chooses.

Write a letter to Donald Trump. Post it here. If he won't read it, we will. It just makes us feel a tiny bit better.
