AN ALERT ABOUT THE “COUNTERING DOMESTIC TERRORISM AND ORGANIZED POLITICAL VIOLENCE” DIRECTIVE
by Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. – zero hyperbole and 100% facts and truth in plain English 
Fellow Americans,
As many of you know, Robert Reich recently shared a letter he received from Richard Gephardt and Tim Wirth. In it they talk about the danger of NSPM-7 (National Security Presidential Memorandum-7), which is the “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence” policy memorandum, which Trump issued even though it is Congress who has the power over such matters. But as with so many other things, including the Iran war, Congress has not stepped up. I am putting the link to Robert’s entire post in the first comment, but I wanted to bring “so what can we do about it” section from  that letter to your attention.  Here it is:
“So what is to be done?
Congress must reassert its Article I authority over emergency powers, military deployment on U.S. soil, and the Office of Legal Council’s power to rewrite statute by memo.
Governors and state attorneys general must adopt the protective measures that civil liberties lawyers have already drafted to shield citizens, non-profits and election workers from NPSM-7.
{Ed. note: I am very pleased to note that our attorney general here in Colorado, Phil Weiser , has been firmly, actively, and successfully battling this administration in court since day 1, and that is one of the reasons I am behind him and endorsing him for governor.}
Newsrooms must report the rolling coup architecture as a single big picture story, because that is what it is.
And each of us — in pulpits, in classrooms, in podcasts, in union halls, at work and around kitchen tables — must call this by its name out loud, while there is still time and there is still room.”
