Hoping for a Positive Outcome Peaceful Election

 This morning I got a message all the way from Germany, where my penpal from 1963 lives.  She and her husband were concerned about our election and expressed

hope that the Democrats "may come to the White House  without dangerous protestations in the street."

I told her that that was our hope too.

Ready, Get Set, Go!

As an editorial in this Monday's SF Chronicle pointed out, "Our election preparations have become considerably less distinguishable from our disaster preparation."

There's an open letter that, for some reason, we're supposed to keep confidential, so I'm not identifying it, but it's asking our city, county, and state leaders what they plan to do to assure a fair election if the Trump people turn violent.  I pointed out that it's not just the Trump people.

My comment:  Please add my name.  

I was listening to a podcast in which several people were being interviewed.  It was quite apparent that the Right-Wing fears violence from the Left, too, and 46% of the new gun owners are people who've never before bought a gun.  

I'm so glad that this open letter specifies "non-violent action."

I think it was in Sunday's  SFChronicle that this observation was made:  

"Our election preparations have become considerably less distinguishable from our disaster preparation."
