margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="fullsizeoutput_145e.jpeg" src="http://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/josuepierre/mailings/194/attachments/original/fullsizeoutput_145e.jpeg?1484805302" alt="fullsizeoutput_145e.jpeg" width="349" height="191"><br><br><br>Dear Friends, </span></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;">As of today, January 20th, 2017, Donald J.
Trump is the President of the United States. While I am a vigorous
opponent of most of his agenda, policies, rhetoric, behavior (I’ll
spare you the entire list) etc... it is important that we acknowledge
and respect the office of the presidency itself. In doing so, we will
be better able to hold President Trump to the standards which come
with the office. </p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">“With great power comes
great responsibility.”</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;">President Trump and the Republicans will
essentially have a monopoly on federal government power. They will
control the presidency, both houses of congress, and could possibly
control the Supreme Court. <br><br></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;"><img style="display: block; margin-left:
auto; margin-right: auto;" title="gty_donald_trump_announcement_jc_150630_16x9_992.jpg" src="http://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/josuepierre/mailings/194/attachments/original/gty_donald_trump_announcement_jc_150630_16x9_992.jpg?1484805332" alt="gty_donald_trump_announcement_jc_150630_16x9_992.jpg" width="345" height="194"><br><br>Should we give President Trump an opportunity to
prove our worst fears and his worst rhetoric wrong? Yes! Let's give
him the benefit of the doubt. The responsibility is on him to prove us
wrong. I'd prefer to be wrong. </p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;">I will say this “When someone shows you
who they are, believe them.” Many Statements were made by Donald Trump
during his campaign, which were outrageous, and at the very least
questionable. The same can be said about his cabinet picks. We will
not turn a blind eye to his words or his cabinet appointments. </p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;">Vigilance, keeping careful watch for signs
of danger, is one of our many responsibilities as citizens. Your
rights, and those of your family, friends, and community members
matter. We must defend all of our rights. If at any point you feel
that you or your community is under threat, know that your leaders
including myself, will lend our voices to your cause and stand with
you in defense of those rights. </p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;">I wish our new President, success in
carrying out his responsibilities and duties. If he is successful, it
will be to the benefit of us all. I hope you and I will remain vocal
in pushing the new president and our government in Washington DC, in
the right direction. </p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;">God bless us all. </p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;">Sincerely, </p>
