Are you part of the problem or the solution?

In One Nation Under God, there is a right time for everything. Everything on earth has its special season.

AMWS, October 16, 2024, Atlanta – How do you quell an insurrection?

In a nutshell, you vote.  Yesterday, the first day of early voting in Georgia, 252,000 citizens showed up by 4:00 p.m. with #GeorgiaOnMyMind.  By the end of the day, there was a record of more than 365,006 total ballots from early voters in person and absentee ballots.  

Today, Stephanie A. Walker Stradford increased that number by one.    Over the next 20 days, she, and 8,240,874 fellow Georgians can save billions in tax dollars by simply showing up and voting out remnant factions of the worst domestic terrorist threat to the United States since the U.S. Civil War.

How much WinRed or ActBlue division do you need to learn that a house divided cannot stand?  Over the next 20 days any two of 210 million @followers of the greatest influencer of all times can move one nation under God closer than ever to a more perfect union.   “It's a sin not to be happy and appreciate beauty. It "pisses God off if you walk by #TheColorPurple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."

 “What can happen in a Divided States of America?”

On January 6, 2021, The President of the United States failed to protect and defend the constitutional right to vote.  Members of The United States Congress impeached but could not convict an “enemy from within” the government’s executive and, perhaps, legislative branches.  The Government Accountability Office estimates the attack -- carried out by supporters of former President Donald Trump who were dissatisfied with the 2020 election results -- caused about $2.7 billion in estimated costs. 

The FBI estimates that between 2,000 and 2,500 people entered the United States Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, with some vandalizing and looting offices of U.S. Congress members.  

The U.S. Congress impeached the President of the United States for his actions or the lack thereof through a constitutionally sanctioned process.   

The Electoral College, represented by 535 electors from the 50 states, convened as required by the U.S. Constitution.

American voters should know that when you cast a vote for a presidential candidate, you’re not actually voting for the president; you’re voting for a group of people called “electors.” Electors are the individuals who form the Electoral College. Each elector represents one electoral vote. A total of 538 electors forms the Electoral College. Each state has its own number of electors.

In Georgia, 47 other states and the District of Columbia, electors vote according to who wins the total popular vote. So, if the Republican candidate wins the state’s popular vote, that party’s electors vote for their candidate to become president of the United States. If the Democrat candidate wins the state’s popular vote, Georgia’s 16 electors nominated by the Democratic Party will be sent to the Electoral College to elect their candidate.
