AN OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
Dump Trump for a better American and a more peaceful world
IHOPE and trust that this letter will touch the heart of every American voter. As you go to vote this November 2020, apply yourself to the presentation of America as the land of freedom and economic prosperity.
One cannot keep out of mind the obvious wrong decisions and actions that President Donald Trump has committed during his administration which have endangered the lives of many Americans and further threatened world peace.
Those who worked with the president closely have testified in their writings. (Fire and Fury in Trump’s White House; The room where it all happened). Dear Americans, Trump must be stopped. He has to be stopped at the polls this November.
I cannot choose a president for you. I cannot even judge and give a definite position on the president. What I am doing through this letter is to show that certain actions and decisions of the president may not be good for America
and even for the president himself.
In 2017, when the president assumed office, I wrote 48 open letters, advising on various topics. It’s almost four years down the lane, we are all witnesses to the Trump administration. This time I have thought that I better write an open letter to you all Americans. America is a leading economy, and what happens there affects us all. I urge you Americans to serve the rest of the world diligently and help in changing the global society for the better. Using the leverage of a leading economy and a political influence, put through a positive change to humanity and to yourselves.
Yes, one can comfortably immerse themselves into the local American environment, be in the comfort of billionaires, millionaires, political and business elites, reach out to select few global colleagues within the same comfort zone and lifestyle.
Yes, as global wealth expands, any leadership with a humane soul of caring for all human beings will use the leverage of national political leadership to put through a positive change to humanity, especially when the leadership is of an economically and politically powerful nation – which the US is today.
On his execution on January 30, 1649 King Charles I had this to say on the people; “For the people, and truly I desire their liberty and freedom, as much as anybody whomsoever, but I must tell you that their liberty and their freedom consists in having a government those laws by which their life and their goods, may be most their own.”
By failing to recognise the importance of working with the rest of the world on laws and institutions that keep America and the rest of the world in tandem, the Trump administration has put the lives of Americans and their goods at a razor edge where they can be lost in an instant.
The job losses and unemployment which have soared to the great depression levels is a case in point.
As he bade farewell to the presidency, George Washington also said; “Respect other nations.”
The Trump administration has completely ignored the wisdom of the founding president.
At this age and era of the modern state, the liberty of America is firmly tied to the liberty of the world, and wrapped up with this liberty is the security of all human beings and the protection of their human rights.
Each American should feel the moral obligation that lies on choosing a right president for
America, who will do the right decisions and actions for Americans and the right things for the world today. The experience over the last four years of Trump administration whether you look at violence at Charotteville or the trade war with China has taught us much. President Trump is definitely not a right choice for Americans or the world, but the duty is for Americans to give us their choice.
On the September 25, 1919 President Woodrow Wilson said; there is one thing that the American people always rise to and extend their hand to, and that is truth of justice and liberty and of peace.
Thus to the words of Wilson, truth, justice, liberty and peace will come by voting Trump out of office and the truth, liberty and peace will start to flow in the world from America, with Americans and the rest of the world working together on global issues confronting the world today.
Even as we fight the coronavirus as a world; we have to do it together in solidarity; we have to work on a new economic order with and post Covid-19; a new global environment and an inclusive social, political, cultural, religious order which follows the World Health Organisation rules.
The key is, we have to work together as individuals and as nations. The one who does not want to work with others, is but a danger to all, and to the rest of the world.
President Trump does not want to work with others, not on the environment, not on the economy, not on justice for all.
The removal of Donald Trump from the presidency is a political and moral necessity. It will be a better America for Americans themselves and for the rest of us - a more peaceful world.
On February 5, 1850, Henry Clay stated that; “We shall stand condemned in our consciences, by our own constituents, by our own country.” Henry Clay was making a case for the union of the USA. He was right.
May I add that we, as humanity will stand to be condemned by the future generations if we fail to see the obvious danger that Trump has brought to the modern state.
