A last pitch by Hollywood to appeal to the conscience of the Electoral College.

Donald Trump has not been elected president. The real election takes place December 19, when the 538 Electoral College Electors cast their ballots – for anyone they want. 

If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, in 14 of the states in Trump's column, they can vote for Hillary Clinton without any legal penalty if they choose. 

We are calling on “Conscientious Electors” to protect the Constitution from Donald Trump, and to support the national popular vote winner. 

Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic. 

I have to admit that I was not on board with this attempt to get the electors to change their vote, but the closer we get to D-Day (January 20th) the more I am looking for must about ANYTHING to stop the inevitable from being inevitable.

Here is the petition if you feel the same.

If only every liberal gave the President the kind of support that Martin Sheen does not hesitate to provide.

In my personal opinion Sheen is dead right, and I am humbled by his unapologetic zeal for our President.

The President IS doing the best he can, but without reliable support from his base, and in the face of a Republican party that has taken a scorched earth approach to politics, what more can anybody expect from the man?

Look I am not an "Obama-bot" (As described in this Politico article), and I imagine that after Obama wins his second term I will unload some of the frustration that has built up these last three years in his direction.

But let us make NO mistake, we are in a war! And I for one refuse to help provide ammunition, or aid and comfort, to the enemy.

In the middle of a fire fight is the wrong time to walk up to your commander in chief and punch him in the nose. There is plenty of time to get that all medeival on his ass after the bullets stop flying.

For right now, I have chosen the side that I believe in, and that is the side I am committed to for the duration.  And by the way, it does not exactly hurt my dedication that the other side is completely wrong about virtually every single issue that I care deeply about.

All I know is that I will do everything that I can to ensure that Barack Obama gets four more years.
