We, The People of the United States, herein announce that under the leadership of our newly-founded 

American Justice and Democracy Project, representing THE PEOPLE, will be filing a lawsuit in Boston federal court for the District of Massachusetts on Thursday January 19, 2017, against Donald J. Trump and the co-defendants named below. These Defendants are being sued in their individual and official capacities. This action arose as a result of the contestable outcome of the 2016 elections. A press conference will be held in Boston on Friday January 20, 2017 to answer questions.

Donald Trump is utterly unqualified to be President of The United States and the leader of the free world, and the consensus agreement among the public at large is that he is temperamentally unfit to be Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces. Trump won the electoral college votes without proper vetting by intimidating and strong-arming reporters and banning media organizations that attempted to conduct reasonably adequate inquiries into his personal finances, and investigate other serious charges about his businesses, his financial entanglements with foreign entities, and disturbing allegations about his personal life.

Donald Trump has caused enormous distress, and fear and apprehension to large swaths of the country’s population, by purposefully and repeatedly targeting and attacking various groups and individuals through the use of inflammatory, divisive, and derogatory language aimed at demeaning, demonizing, stigmatizing, and isolating millions of Americans and residents of the U.S, designed to undermine long-established and critical civic and social organizations, and also meant to obliterate traditional American norms, fundamental rules, ethical standards, and codes of conduct, which have been central to the survival of America as a civil society. Donald Trump single-handedly created an atmosphere of confusion and chaos among the electorate in order to rise and attain the office of the Presidency of The United State of America. In doing so, Trump was aided and abetted by parties external to his campaign, and those outside parties contributed actively to his brinkmanship, demagoguery, and arm-twisting to sow sufficient disruption and turmoil to cause an electoral disarray in his favor. In deploying these tactics, Donald Trump was also aided and abetted by certain rogue government officials who violated election laws, government regulations, and departmental protocols in order to achieve the goal of electing Donald Trump. Evidence has surfaced, which shows that foreign actors intervened in the American election in support of Donald Trump, namely Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and / or Russian government-sanctioned hackers working in concert with Julian Assange of Wikileaks to influence the outcome of our election. Evidence also exists, which points to the exercise of undue influence by other forces that also interfered with the election process on behalf of Donald Trump, in violations of election law.

This unprecedented, well orchestrated, and coordinated attack on our system of election has left the country in a capricious and unpredictable political state, which Trump continues to aggravate and exacerbate daily during the transition period by exhibiting the same reckless behaviors and flippant actions he displayed throughout the campaign season.

Rather than instilling confidence and providing reassurance in his up-coming administration, Trump’s picks of advisers and cabinet appointments comprise of extremists, White supremacists, inexperienced millionaires and billionaires, lobbyists, and anti-government activists for key positions, added to the country’s general and political unease, and feelings of high risk and imminent threat to our domestic economic stability, our national security, and the safety of millions around the world. Finally, Donald Trump’s electoral college vote number remains a cause of concern and continues to be highly debatable, due to the results of recent investigative findings and determinations released by the U.S. intelligence community into links between hostile foreign powers and Donald Trump, his campaign, and his affiliates.

SITTING AROUND AND COMPLAINING – CRYING – INDULGING IN FEELING DEPRESSED OR HOPING FOR A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN AND MAKE THE DONALD TRUMP PROBLEM GO AWAY IS NOT AN OPTION. AS FOR REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE – THEY TOO KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP IN UTTERLY UNQUALIFIED TO PRESIDENT AND UNFIT TO BE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OUR OUR ARMED FORCES. BUT THEY ARE POWER-HUNGRY AND THEREFORE THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO BE COMPLICIT IN BREAKING OUR ELECTION SYSTEM AND PLACE OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY AT RISKS. IF EVER THERE WAS A TIME TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND AND FOR ALL OF US TO TAKE A FIRM STAND TO DEFEND THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES THAT MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT WE ARE AT ONE OF THOSE JUNCTIONS RIGHT AT ABOUT NOW - I DREW A LINE IN THE SAND AT ALLOWING A PATENTLY UNDESIRABLE INDIVIDUAL TO TAKE THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

On December 19th, the 538 electors from around the country will meet to vote to elect the 45th president of the United States who will be sworn into office on January 20, 2017. As of this writing, Hillary Clinton maintains a popular vote lead of 2.1 percent, with a vote count of 65,756,948 for Clinton to Donald Trump’s 62,913,088.

Although the media has been wrongly referring to Donald Trump as president-elect, there is no president-elect until such time as the Electors vote by a majority to elect a president. The person elected by the Constitutional Electors then goes on to become president upon taking the oath of office, which is to be administered by the Chief Justice of the United State Supreme Court on Inauguration Day set for he 20th day of January following the election.

Considering Donald Trump’s unfitness for the presidency of the United States and his lack of qualifications, the job of the electors to pick a president will not be as routine as in past elections, where the nominees were more or less qualified and fit for office, and the differences were in policies and ideologies. It is against this backdrop that movements have been reported among the Electors since the November 8th election, including a letter on Monday December 12th from a group of 10 members from the Electoral College, 4 of them from the State of New Hampshire, requesting an intelligence briefing from the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. The constitutional requirements of Hamilton Federalist Paper #68 appears to be at the center of the concerns on the minds of some electors just seven days to their December 19th meeting: 

“The Electors require to know from the intelligence community whether there are ongoing investigations into ties between Donald Trump, his campaign or associates, and Russian government interference in the election, the scope of those investigations, how far those investigations may have reached, and who was involved in those investigations,” they wrote. “We further require a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve as President of the United States.” [...]

Some Colorado and California Electors have also been reported to be communicating with each other and with scholars and State officials to express concerns www.nytimes.com/… and to inquire further into their constitutional duty in accordance with Federalist 68, especially given that some states have passed laws binding the Electors to vote for the candidate who received the most votes in the Electoral College.

However, in this Era of hyper partisanship, we cannot hold hope that the Electors will discharge their duties as per Federalist 68, and not vote to elect Donald Trump for president, knowing full well that Trump is utterly unqualified to be president and patently unfit to be commander-in-chief. Throwing our hands up in the air is not an option. The time to act to protect our individual safety, and America’s interests, is now. A Trump presidency places the citizens of this country and abroad at great risks in all, domestic policies, foreign affairs, and national security. 

We will absorb all initial costs in this action, and attend hearing and file and respond to motions without charge. However, given the nature and the enormity of this case, and the unlimited amount of financial and legal resources the defendants should be expected to deploy, we are asking everyone to contribute in any amount possible to a vigorous prosecution of this case, and potential appeals.
