I emailed all the republican electors using one of the 'contact the electors" sites.. forget which one. I used their form email plus a little of my own copy...ONE guy replied and it says it all. He told me to "PASS THE NEWS ALONG."
So, I am passing it along.
My email....
Dear........,
On December 19, you and the other Electors will cast your ballots to elect a President. If you all vote the way your states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, you can vote for Hillary Clinton if you choose.
Therefore, I hope you will exercise your Constitutional right to cast your ballot for Secretary Clinton. Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsiveness, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience, in addition to his being a narcissistic megalomaniac, make him a danger to the Republic.
Secretary Clinton won the popular vote - by nearly 2 million votes - and should be President. The only reason Trump "won" is because of the Electoral College. But electing Trump is not consistent with the Founder's intentions when they created the Electoral College. The Electoral College was created, in the words of Alexander Hamilton, to prevent the Presidency from falling to "any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications." This is the moment where you were meant to lead.
If 38 of Trump's 306 electors vote Clinton, she'll become President. You are the last check in a system perilously close to making a tyrant the President. I hope you'll honor the will of the majority of voters and vote to elect Hillary Clinton President. Our nation depends on it.
Sincerely,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Clinton is a criminal, and all of her views are diametrically opposed to mine.
I was elected to cast my vote for the Republican candidate. That is Trump. I will vote for him with no reservations, and no amount of pleading or threats will dissuade me.
Pass the news along.
All the best to you,
