       Is it Time for America to Start a Silent Protest?

       [size=12pt]All you see in the mainstream news lately is "Red vs
       Blue".
       Its reached the point of "sickening" many Americans to watch
       leaders in our Nation's Capital claiming to be patriots, yet
       their actions show they are far from that definition.
       The story behind this "civil war" in America is whether or not
       the current Leadership in Washington DC is actively trying to
       wage a war on Democracy & "The Rule of Law" in America. It
       appears that the new administration, the Trump-Musk-Maga
       nightmare, has little to no respect for The Constitution that
       formed this nation, or the laws that are in place to protect
       American Citizens from the likes of Trump & Musk and others who
       want to perpetuate the hostility & anger gripping this country.
       In his first 30 days Mr Trump has lied to America over & over
       again, and is now being sued by many States for his antics, and
       those of his head minion, Elon.
       Do you feel helpless?
       Do you believe the values of our great Nation are being
       destroyed by a few individuals who appear to have an issue with
       "color-blindness"... all they see is either red or blue?
       Want to fight back, want to make a statement that will resonate
       all the way to the White House?
       Let's start a movement, right here, right now. We can call it
       Flags for Democracy, and yes, it will have a hash tag that will
       leave no doubt what the movement is about. Here's the rally cry
       for all of you out there who feel America is headed in the wrong
       direction under Donald J Trump & his head puppet... Elon Musk.

       [size=12pt]Copy & paste that hashtag on your Facebook pages, add
       it to your Instagram & Twitter feeds,  get the word out that a
       grassroots protest is starting. Add a link back to this post so
       others can understand what #halfstaff4democracy is all about.

       There's a very easy way to use the old "red, white & blue" to
       make a statement that says you care about this country enough to
       start a silent protest against the Republicans & Democrats that
       are NOT doing their jobs "for the people". Simply fly your flag
       at Half Staff in protest, and contact the Governor's Office of
       your State to ask that ALL flags in the State to be flown at
       Half Staff, in protest of the current antics in the White House.
       Now before some right-wing conspiracy people try to tell you
       that flying the flag is only allowed by order of the President,
       understand that State Governor's also can order flags to be
       flown at half-staff.

       New York State Governor Kathy Hochul ordered Flags flown at FULL
       Staff during the last presidential inauguration, against a
       standing Half Staff order from President Biden to honor the
       death of Jimmy Carter.

       A few other States followed suit, and also raised their flags
       from the public morning position, to fully raised to honor the
       "peaceful transfer of power" in this country.

       It appears that flying the flag at #halfstaff4democracy is
       something that will irritate Mr Trump quite a bit, based on his
       displeasure at the Biden Proclamation to honor former President
       Carter.

       He had quite a rant on his "best buddy" Elon Musk's global
       texting app called X, formerly known as Twitter. Here's Trump's
       incoherent ramblings about that from his Twitter page. Obviously
       if more States decide to follow our lead, and fly local
       government flags at # halfstaff4democracy there will be more of
       these remarks expected...it will upset him off for sure to see
       flags flying at half-staff and HE didn't order or approve it.

       And if you are wondering if those "right-wingers" are telling
       the truth when they start their next conspiracy theory that "
       you can be arrested" for flying the American Flag at Half-Staff
       (without the President's approval), know right now that you have
       a RIGHT as an American to fly that flag in front of your house
       anyway you like.
       [attachimg=5]
       Flying the American Flag at half-staff is meant to signify
       respect or mourning
       In the case of #HALFSTAFF4DEMOCRACY it's for MOURNING the Death
       of Democracy in The United States of America at the hands of one
       Donald J Trump.

       It all starts with "We the People"

       If you live in New York State you can contact the Governor's
       Office at this website
  HTML https://www.governor.ny.gov/about-governor-hochul
       After you send the Governor a link to our website, using the
       CONTACT form, you will get a nice response saying that she
       thanks you for your input & support.

       Let's see if Ms Hochul remembers that she represents a State
       that didn't buy into the MAGA lies
