https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/06/28/hitlers-rise-it-can-happen-here/What will it take to awaken so many Americans to what is going on? Here's a thought...Which Americans are pretty much universally admired? I'm not sure, and some Trump supporters will surely
recoil at some of the names I offer up, but I'll throw out a few: Colin Powell, Jimmy Carter, Bill Gates, Tom
Hanks, GW and Laura Bush, Barack and Michelle Obama, Oprah, Springsteen, Warren Buffet, Denzel
Washington, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Ted Koppel, George Will...This may be a flawed, perhaps very flawed list, but I'm wondering if a 30 second television commercial could
be created that showcases these "culture leaders" speaking in one voice to express the dangers faced to our
democracy, well, perhaps it would awaken some Trump devotees. Thoughts?Peter T.
