Van, would you please consider spearheading and lead a movement to confront the many problems facing not only the back community, but others in this country who are hurting. As I write this, once again we democratic voters have been stung by winning the popular vote for president, and losing the election. People are out in the streets of many cities across America protesting the soon to be Trump presidency, but, sadly, just as with similar protests that have happened in recent times, they have no clear plan and specific goals or political solutions in mind to make change happen, to make this country more just for all, and its democratic government more representative of the people. The people need a leader to coalesce behind. One who has the knowledge and ability to lay out an organized movement, with leadership carrying it forward, and the commitment to stay the course until some progress is made with the various problems we face. The presidency is lost now. That is the sad fact, but a solid movement to finally do away with the electoral college would help ensure this does not happen again. Obviously, that goal is not the only thing we need to push for. The various other problems, such as growing poverty, violence against African Americans by police who go unpunished, unbelievable incarceration rates of people of color, not treating those with substance abuse problems as a health issue, rather than a criminal one, pushing us towards a green and renewable energy policy, and the influence of big business on government are other issues. If you could help lead people to make some progress with even one of these goals it would be well worth it. I know this seems grandiose to ask of you, and if you really believe you are not the one for such a thing, please, try to find someone who is and do whatever you can to encourage people to stand with that leader. I am asking you....please!
