Don't Steal My Vote

 On Jan. 6th, a political mob, at the behest of then-Pres. Trump, stormed the Capitol with the intent of forcing Congress to ignore the Electoral College vote.
The mob did not care how any American had voted, they were bent of imposing their will on all of us.
With the fervor and terror of Jan. 6 having abated, I have had time to reflect on what the mob,  its instigators and supporters tried to do to me.
Those people were acting to deny my citizen’s rights to vote and have my vote counted. They were making me a non-citizen.
This American, citizen and veteran will not put up with this.
I will not take physical action against those people.
But I will take names and remember. All those in the mob, in Congress, and the Administration - I will call you out as enemies of American freedom and our democracy, and as Traitors to the Constitution.
I will shun you and call upon your families and friends to disavow you and your politics.

Stop Purchasing from China

To cut back on American purchasing of goods from China, we need to have a movement that will convince Amazon, etc., put an extra specification when you ask to buy a product. Entirely voluntary, you would be allowed to specify that you didn't want any products from, for instance, China.
 If enough people did this, China's trade and economy would be hurt severely. Alternate sources of goods would have to be developed in a hurry, but that would occur at market rate.
The only problem would be where China controls certain key materials, such as Rare Earths.
