As I trust you already know there are two Reichs that influence thought in America.  The Reich on the Right is the Republican Reich, and it is virtually always wrong. The Reich on the Left is Robert Reich, and he is virtually always right.  At present, the fascist Republican Reich has a stranglehold on power, so Robert Reich gives us fourteen points on how to RESIST.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"1120Reich\"<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s First 100 Day agenda includes repealing environmental regulations, Obamacare, and the Dodd-Frank Act, giving the rich a huge tax cut, and much worse. Here\u2019s the First 100 Day resistance agenda [with thanks to Alan Webber]:<\/p>\n

1.  Get Democrats in the Congress and across the country to pledge to oppose Trump\u2019s agenda. Prolong the process of approving choices, draw out hearings, stand up as sanctuary cities and states. Take a stand. Call your senator and your representative (phone calls are always better than writing). Your senator\u2019s number: http:\/\/www.senate.gov\/senators\/contact\/<\/a>. Your representative\u2019s number: http:\/\/www.house.gov\/representatives\/<\/a><\/p>\n

2.   March and demonstrate\u2014in a coordinated, well-managed way. The \u201c1 Million Women March\u201d is already scheduled for the Inauguration \u2014and will be executed with real skill. See: http:\/\/www.commondreams.org\/news\/2016\/11\/15\/counter-trump-women-are-mobilizing-massive-march-washington<\/a> . There will be \u201csister\u201d marches around the country\u2014in LA and elsewhere. They need to be coordinated and orchestrated. And then? 1 Million Muslims? 1 Million Latinos? What would keep the momentum alive and keep the message going?<\/p>\n

3.   Boycott all Trump products, real estate, hotels, resorts, everything. And then boycott all stores (like Nordstrom) that carry merchandise from Trump family brands.

4. Letters to Editors: A national letter-writing campaign, from people all over the country, every walk of life and every level of society, from celebrities to sports heroes to grassroots Americans. In most papers, the Letters to the Editor section is the most-read part of the paper.<\/p>\n

5. Op-Eds: A steady flow of arguments about the fallacies and dangers of Trump\u2019s First 100 Day policies and initiatives, from name-brand thinkers and doers to ordinary folk writing for their city\u2019s or community\u2019s newspaper.<\/p>\n

6. Social media: What about a new YouTube channel devoted to video testimonials about resisting Trump\u2019s First 100 Day Agenda? Crowd-sourced ideas, themes and memes. Who wants to start it?<\/p>\n

7. Website containing up-to-date daily bulletins on what actions people are planning around the country, and where, so others can join in. Techies, get organized…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
