  Hello United States’ Voters living or working in Europe or Elsewhere,      We only have a bit more than four weeks until the U.S. Election, TUESDAY, November 3rd, 2020. I hope each of you will vote in your designated State, or as  an absentee voter per mail, or fax your vote in.  No matter.

The Insurrection and attempted Coup d'etat of the U.S. Capitol Last Wednesday, January 6th, 2021, an insurrection by an extremist-mob attempted a “coup d’etat”  to over-throw the Congress and even to kill some U.S. Capitol Representatives, Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and Vice-President Pence who, as President of the Senate, had oversight of the counting and could confirm the Electoral College Votes out of each of the 50 U. S. States.  The mob's intent was to stop the Capitol Representatives from counting the Electoral College Votes, which is the final Official process in the confirmation that President-Elect Joseph Biden “is” the next President of the United States!  This Coup was the result of continuous lies and incitement by President Donald J.
