To the editor: Columnist Robin Abcarian is totally right when she says that individuals energy works (“Americans aren’t waiting for the Democratic Party to take on Trump,” March 23). I’ve at all times believed in civil disobedience. When individuals wish to be heard, numbers matter. Elected officers take discover when massive numbers of their constituents converse up. I skilled that after I labored in a Metropolis Council workplace.
After we solely discuss concerning the points to our family and friends, it’s not sufficient to get motion. However after we set up and converse out publicly, we are able to get motion. As Abcarian instructed, if sufficient voters take to the streets in peaceable protest, change will come. That has been true all through our historical past.
We should cease the present administration from destroying our nation and taking away our rights. The phrases dictatorship or authoritarianism shouldn’t be spoken frivolously. That is occurring proper earlier than our eyes, and it appears that evidently nobody is ready to curtail it. So it’s as much as us, the American individuals, to face up, protest peacefully and make our voices heard, loud and clear. It’s our obligation and accountability to avoid wasting the American lifestyle for future generations.
Please make your voices heard, via marching, protesting, letter writing and telephone calls. In any other case we could be carrying uniforms and marching to our political chief.
