Take over the Democratic Party and return it to the people. They have failed us miserably. <br>2. Fire all pundits, predictors, pollsters and anyone else in the media who had a narrative they wouldn't let go of and refused to listen to or acknowledge what was really going on. Those same bloviators will now tell us we must "heal the divide" and "come together." They will pull more hooey like that out of their ass in the days to come. Turn them off. <br>3. Any Democratic member of Congress who didn't wake up this morning ready to fight, resist and obstruct in the way Republicans did against President Obama every day for eight full years must step out of the way and let those of us who know the score lead the way in stopping the meanness and the madness that's about to begin. <br>4. Everyone must stop saying they are "stunned" and "shocked". What you mean to say is that you were in a bubble and weren't paying attention to your fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew. Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and tell them all "You're fired!" Trump's victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one only strengthened him. He is both a creature and a creation of the media and the media will never own that. <br>5. You must say this sentence to everyone you meet today: "HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE!" The MAJORITY of our fellow Americans preferred Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Period. Fact. If you woke up this morning thinking you live in an effed-up country, you don't. The majority of your fellow Americans wanted Hillary, not Trump. The only reason he's president is because of an arcane, insane 18th-century idea called the Electoral College. Until we change that, we'll continue to have presidents we didn't elect and didn't want. You live in a country where a majority of its citizens have said they believe there's climate change, they believe women should be paid the same as men, they want a debt-free college education, they don't want us invading countries, they want a raise in the minimum wage and they want a single-payer true universal health care system. None of that has changed. We live in a country where the majority agree with the "liberal" position. We just lack the liberal leadership to make that happen (see: #1 above). </span></p><p style="margin:6px 0px 0px;display:inline;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Let's try to get this all done by noon today. <br>-- Michael Moore</p></div><br><div>Jim Wiegel</div><div><a style="font-size:13pt;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">401 North Beverly Way, Tolleson, Arizona 85353</a></div><div><font color="#000000">Tel.</font><span style="font-size:13pt;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"> </span><a href="tel:011-623-936-8671" style="font-size:13pt" target="_blank">011-623-936-8671</a><span style="font-size:13pt;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"> </span><span style="font-size:13pt;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">or</span><span style="font-size:13pt;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"> </span><a href="tel:011-623-363-3277" style="font-size:13pt" target="_blank">011-<wbr>623-363-3277</a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:marilyn.oyler@gmail.com" style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)" target="_blank"><font color="#000000">jfwiegel@yahoo.com</font></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.partnersinparticipation.com/" style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)" target="_blank"><font color="#000000">www.partnersinparticipation.<wbr>com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></span></div><div>"<span style="font-size:13pt">We are no longer living in an era of change.

<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"><u>12-Step Plan to cope if your candidate
loses election:</u></font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">1 - Feel free to scream. Just don't
do it in public. It's a good way to shed some angst.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">2 - Practice acceptance. Face the
facts. You don't have to like it to accept that it's the reality and you
have to move forward.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">3. Take action. Support an election
issue that was important to you and it will help you feel
empowered.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">4. Create an exit plan. No,
don't leave the country. But, have a strategy that lets you gracefully
exit any anxiety-provoking political conversation. Don't
escalate.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">5. Heed your early-warning
signs. When you start to think "This person is an idiot," know your
triggers and back off.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">6. Manage your exposure. We all
know there are certain people, social media posts or TV outlets that fuel
aggravation or depression, avoid these and limit exposure.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">7. Think broadly. We know there
are people who support the other side. It doesn't make them a
villain. Practice empathy and kindness. At times this will be a
challenge.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">8. Build a support system. It's
OK to vent, but do it in a healthy self-controlled way and do it with people who
are positive and support you. (Maybe we should have a VENT party).
</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">9. Slow down and self-soothe.
This could be a time to try meditation, or a walk in the woods, or anything that
gives you inner peace.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">10. Be thankful. Name things you are
grateful for, i.e., a sunny day, great friends, good health. Feed your
brain positive info.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">11. Get some perspective. Turn on a
comedy, watch a classic movie, spend a day with grandkids, or read a good
book. Know that life will go on even though you're
disappointed.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">12. Model good behavior. Be a
gracious loser. Set examples for each other with positive ways to
cope. Exhibit self-control. By doing these things we strengthen our
own resilience.</font></strong></div>
