Tomorrow will be my one and only event for Beginnings, which we self-published last month. Where else to hold it but my beloved Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, AZ? Please come and see me and/or order books here to be signed at the event. Looking forward to seeing you and revisiting Kate Martinelli together!
The Ides of Trump
Okay, today’s Takeback Tuesday isn’t about donating to a Good Cause. This one is fun and communal.
Tomorrow is the Ides of March, a day Julius Caesar would have cause to remember. To celebrate a day that changed Roman history, tomorrow has been declared #TheIdesofTrump.
I’d like all of us to dig out a postcard–or stationery, if you want to get all formal–and send #45 a note telling him exactly how you feel. As the planners of this event say:
Wednesday, March 15th, each of us will mail the president a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm him with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing DT that his time in office in limited and that we will reject any attempts he and his allies make to reduce our freedom to speak, pray, travel, educate our kids, obtain affordable health care, breathe clean air, and leave our grandchildren a habitable planet.
They add:
Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We’re setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day, with not a single nice thing to say.
They can’t build a wall high enough to stop the mail.
On March 15th, mail your postcards to:
President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Takeback Tuesday: Postponed
Laurie’s internet service is down due to storm damage, so she will post today’s regularly scheduled Takeback Tuesday blog when she is reconnected with the outside world. Thank you for your patience.
