Signing up on the website for “If Trump Fires Mueller” will allow you to receive the message “we’re going out” directly from Move On. Of course, I’ll send it too, but I might be away from my computer, or something else might go wrong. Once you’re signed up,
you’ll get the message directly as well as indirectly. We might go out Thursday (9/27) so stand by!

Dear GVCP Member,
Geneseo is an official site for a Rapid Response Rally if Trump fires Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Right now, the news is all about what we do if Trump fires Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. If Rosenstein is fired, we definitely go out. If Rosenstein resigns, that will be a judgment call.
The three co-hosts of the rally are Holly Adams, Susan Bailey, and me. We will wait for word from MoveOn about whether we go out if Rosenstein resigns.
More information is in blue below.
Here’s the website if you haven’t signed up yet. (We have 106 people listed as attendees, but, of course, we would like more.)

Just type in the Geneseo zip code (14454) and our rally will be on your screen. Then click on “Sign up to attend.”
The times and rules of the event are below in blue. THE LOCATION IS ON MAIN STREET, GENESEO, at the brick at the south end of Main Street. I’ve called the Geneseo Police Department, and told them that we might be there, but, then again, we might not. At this moment (Tuesday morning) it looks as if nothing will happen until Thursday, 9/27. Of course, when you’re dealing with Trump, you never know. If the red flag warning comes out before 2:00 PM on Thursday, the rally will begin at 5:00 PM. If after 2:00 PM on Thursday, we go out on Friday at 12:00 Noon.
***WE NEED SIGNS** People who know how to make signs please make signs. We have plenty of peace signs, but no signs that fit directly with this situation. MoveOn.org has suggested one sign: https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.moveon.org/images/Nobody_is_above_the_law_placard
“Nobody is above the law” isn’t a catchy slogan, but it’s a start. How about, “Save Democracy,” or “No Dictators”? WE WILL NEED SIGNS!

This is our moment to stand up to protect our democracy. Let’s mobilize to show that we won’t let Donald Trump become the authoritarian that he aspires to be. The law applies to all of us, and it’s essential that it also applies to the most powerful people in our country.
