This is a story about an international couple raising and home educating three young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages are about pretty much anything and everything all guided by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes, Being Happy.

DUMP TRUMP

Friends. This is not a time to be apathetic. Next month on December 19th, the electoral college will meet to potentially finalize the nomination of Donald Trump for president. If enough of the electoral participants change their votes, then the decision to make Trump president would go to the House of Representatives, which is unfortunately, Republican controlled. A long shot to be sure, but at least it would put the electoral college system in question, a system that needs to be abolished in favor of the popular vote. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS MAN BECOME PRESIDENT, then please….POST A COMMENT ON THIS PAGE at the bottom….and then send this link to your friends to post as well. If enough comments are posted, the link will be sent to those in a position to affect the electoral vote. PLEASE DO THIS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Thanks.
Electoral College

The United States Electoral College is a mechanism established by Article Two of the United States Constitution in the indirect United States presidential election system to select the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States. Citizens of the United States vote in each state at a general election to choose a slate of "electors" pledged to vote for a party's candidate.

The Twelfth Amendment requires each elector to cast one vote for president and another vote for vice president. In each state and the District of Columbia, electors are chosen every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and then meet to cast ballots on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. The candidates who receive an absolute majority of electoral votes among the states are elected President and Vice President of the United States when the Electoral College vote is certified by Congress in January.
Faithless Elector

In United States presidential elections, a faithless elector is a member of the United States Electoral College who does not vote for the presidential or vice-presidential candidate for whom they had pledged to vote. That is, they lack faith in the pledge and vote for another candidate, or fail to vote, or choose not to vote. A pledged elector can become a faithless elector only by breaking their pledge; unpledged electors have no pledge to break.
