If The Millions Marching Would Only Vote

As we look at the cornerstones of our democracy and the extent to which the separation of powers under the Constitution have been held captive by the holder of the Executive Office of the Presidency, we see an outpouring of protest throughout America. Last week, over 5 million people in more than 2000 protest demonstrations, took to the streets against the policies of this President. But that is not enough. Question: How many of those 5 million are voters? Why? Because it will take voters to stop the assault on democracy.
If we had voter registration at each protest site and a list of those local elected officials who remain silent, we could initiate Recall Petitions for failure to uphold the Oath of Office that each of them to “To Uphold And Defend The Constitution of The United States”. The failure we have seen with each and every Republican in the House of Representatives and the Senate more than provide grounds for recalls. Successful recalls will trigger the need for special elections, all of which probably could take place before the scheduled 2026 Midterm election. America does not have time to wait for the Midterm elections.
Millions of people showing up with voter registration cards at each of these protests will deliver a message that is always missing. That missing element, which all politicians understand, is the difference between marching in protest and actually going to the polls to vote. The latter is what every elected person, including the President, really cares about.
Only regaining control of the House of Representatives, which the Republicans only hold by about five votes, will give us the opportunity to re-establish the separation of powers provided in the Constitution as a means of stopping the authoritarian efforts of this President and those who silently appear to agree with him. Let’s get about the business of making some life and death changes.
