<p>This very special emergency <strong>July Fourth Election Day Special </strong>is my attempt to make the case that <strong>Joe Biden must step aside </strong>and allow for an open Democratic convention.</p>
<p>The arguments and dire predictions I share this episode are not meant to stir panic or fear, they are intended only to encourage action. I call this an <strong>'Election Day Special'</strong> because I, perhaps naively, believe that if enough voters raised their voices now to demand <strong>Biden step aside </strong>it might help sway the powers making this monumental decision to make the what I think is the right one.</p>
<p>In the next few days the decision will be made. If you write your reps, senators, dem governors, the White House <strong>TODAY</strong> and encourage others to do the same, you will have voted for the best candidate (someone other than Biden) in what I think is the most important election ever held. </p>
<p>"Maybe none of this matters, the decision is out of our hands. Why bother?" If nothing else, in taking action you will have worked the muscle of participation in collective activity. This is something we all need to do more of no matter what the political situation. </p>
<p>Thanks for listening!</p>
<p>To contact reps simply search "find my rep", "find my senator" etc.</p>
