Please Don't Let Down the Millions Turning Out for You

By Michael Moore, Michael Moore's Facebook Page

27 October 16

 

ear Hillary -

I hope you've had a wonderful 69th birthday today. I didn't send you a card, so I thought I'd post this facebook note instead.

Thank you for running, for offering to serve us for the next four to eight years. This is the time of life most would rather enjoy retirement, the grandkids or a good book. You've chosen to deal with Congress, ISIS and the melting ice caps. So, thanks for that.

This country was born 240 years and four months ago. Only men have run it. Some of them did a good job, a lot of them didn't. And now we are approaching the moment when a man will no longer lead. This will be a good thing. Better yet, that new leader, God and Ohio-willing, will be you.

I hope someone baked you a cake. The rest of us, we're ready to place a lot on your plate. We have no choice. There's so much to be done. Please don't let down the millions turning out for you. They want peace not war, they want you to side with them and not Wall Street. They want you to feel it in your bones that black lives matter and that we are a loving home for immigrants. They know our own police have killed more Americans than ISIS has. They want to be safe but know our biggest threat are the 350 million unregistered guns in our homes. They want paid maternity leave, equal pay for women and debt-free college -- and they want the rich to pay for it, simply by paying the taxes the rich always used to pay. They want the planet to survive and they want an end to these endless elections.

Not too much, right? Happy birthday, Hillary. Have a good sleep tonight. We'll see you tomorrow - just a dozen days left until history is made!

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

- The RSN Team

The on site protesters need our support! If nothing else, we should spread this story to everyone we know.

TWO -- JUST TWO people arrested - why bather. Need to have thousands arrested not TWO.

Until there are two hundred thousand really, really pissed off people on Capital Hill (all at the same time) raising some serious hell against the Lunatics, absolutely nothing is ever, ever going to happen to these totally bought and paid for by the richest 50 people in the world that are becoming more and more powerful with each passing rigged election thanks to the stupid people.

You assume that they would not murder blockaders? WRONG! They will stop at nothing to make a buck and insure that this pipeline is done exactly as they want it. Americans have lost their rights to a clean and safe country. Just wait to see the changes if Mittens gets elected! They will clear cut and level the country in the name of oil.

Hell, the U.S. supports and has supported leaders who kill, just as the U.S. does. Killing protesters would be nothing in the grand scheme of things. The U.S., both federal and local governments, have killed and even bombed their own citizens. What would stop them now? Little is done to stop police brutality as it is.

If the U.S. gov. will allow other of their "friends" to brutalize and kill their own citizens what makes any of us think we're safe in protesting.

First: you know you have been successful when the police stoop to torture.
Second you know you are successful when the people who order the torture are on site enjoying watching the torture. They will not forget their pleasuring themselves while watching pain being inflicted. They end up taking it home to their once loved ones. Management types like that and the police performing for them have neat home lives, like The SEALS as they kill on command.

This is Texas people. Texas has been fighting to conduct itself separate from the federal government.. The push to bankrupt the U.S. And rouse people to go against it would give power to the states and make null and void the Constitution and Bill Of Rights... NOT GOOD! The states don't have to follow federal law then... They can each make their own. Connect the dots and the players.
And with some of the new items quietly on Mr. Obama's agenda will exempt foreign (Canada is foreign) companies from complying with U.S. Laws and EPA regulations. And T. Boone Pickens owns the biggest aquafer in Texas. So much for his wind farm projects.
