Time to Take a Stand
Why is that all of these posts saying to &quot;take a stand&quot; fail to explain the political process? I&#x27;ll just quote myself here. If you want to help stop trump the most effective ways are to:<p>1. Call<p><pre><code>  - Local congresspeople (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.house.gov&#x2F;representatives&#x2F;find&#x2F;)

  - Senators (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.senate.gov&#x2F;senators&#x2F;contact&#x2F;)

  - Local officials (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.usa.gov&#x2F;elected-officials)
</code></pre>
2. Participate<p><pre><code>  - Get involved in local elections (this is a decent start - to become informed locally http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.npr.org&#x2F;stations&#x2F;)

  - Protest

  - Attend town hall and city council meetings (see npr)
</code></pre>
3. Share<p><pre><code>  - Tell your friends 
</code></pre>
4. Vote (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.usa.gov&#x2F;register-to-vote" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.usa.gov&#x2F;register-to-vote</a>)<p>5. Volunteer<p>6. Stop reading and start doing one of the other things.
