20 reasons why you should be writing a guest blog at "Learning to Stand."



1.     If you have turned on the television in the past two weeks and you have stared with slack jawed amazement at what is transpiring in Washington D.C. and you fear for the stability of our democracy you need to share your thoughts with others.

2.     If you are the child or grandchild of immigrants who fled their home country and came to the United States to provide a better life for their family, you need to tell us that story.

3.     If you have ever felt you were discriminated against because you do not practice Christianity, by all means, we need to hear about that situation.

4.     If you felt your stomach churn with anger or embarrassment when you saw Donald Trump mock a reporter who had physical impairments that is a nobel  reason to take a stand as a guest author and sharing your feelings.

5.     If you feel that the Trump Administration is  making the world a more dangerous place in which to live by his cavalier disregard for for the the science of climate change consider telling us about your concerns.

6.     If you believe that it is a dangerous and unprecedented maneuver to embrace the Russian government who according to seventeen separate intelligence agencies, interfered with our presidential election we would love to hear why that is wrong.

7.     If you believe that Mr. Trump has a misogynistic attitude toward women and has bragged about his exploitation of them in his past, this is a platform to share why this is such an important issue.

8.     If you believe that President Trump has appointed a cabinet of wealthy business people whose only interest in government is to make it easier for them to enrich themselves at the expense of  the middle class and working poor then we need to hear about it.

9.     If you feel that the Trump Administration is making a mockery of the party of Lincoln perhaps you can make us understand how it feels to have your party hijacked by an opportunistic huckster who figured how to manipulate the election process.

10.    If you believe that Social Security is in trouble because these people are fast tracking privatisation of our hard earned contributions and this upsets you, we want to hear your thoughts.

11.    If you think that it is unfair that President Trump refuses to show us his tax returns which will shed some much needed transparency on his business holdings and possible conflicts of interest, don't you think it is about time you said something?

12.    If you think that President Trump should be able to use Twitter as a legitimate means to attack the press and his detractors with no obvious way to counter his arguments then you might just want to say something about that in the form of a guest blog.

13.  If you are concerned about the term alternative facts, as a way to distract you from his inability to handle the truth of a situation, perhaps you could instruct us on a better way that you believe our POTUS should behave.

14.    If you are concerned that our POTUS may actually be suffering from a severe form of Narcissistic Personality Disorder as diagnosed by famed psychiatrist John D. Gartner,  you may want to share your ideas about what the country should do about it.

15.    If the temperament and impulsivity of Donald Trump in conjunction with his access to the nuclear codes keeps you up at night you could elaborate your thoughts here.
 tell us why
16.    If the placement of Steve Bannon the Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to United States President Donald Trump, a known white nationalist icon with alt right underpinnings is disturbing to you, then you are welcome to share your feelings on the topic here.

17.     If you believe the President is currently benefitting financially in violation of the Nobility/emoluments clause of the United States Constitution and you believe that is an impeachable offense, there is no better place to unburden yourself than right here as a guest author.

18.    If you think that NATO and our commitment to the countries of Europe has not become obsolete as proclaimed by Donald J. Trump, I want you to espouse your reasons why we should stand in support of this important treaty organization tell us why.

19.    If you think firing the U,S, Attorney General being fired because she refused to follow the Muslim Ban proposed in Trump's executive order because in her professional opinion it might not be lawful, I would hope you might take the time to expound upon it here.

20.    And finally,  if you are afraid that the election of Donald Trump poses the greatest threat to our democracy since the advent of the Civil War, please, please step up and tell us what you believe our best recourse is.
