Full-page ads created by a Democratic activist are urging Electoral College members to vote against President-elect Donald Trump on Monday.
The ads, which began running in newspapers across the country Wednesday, are funded by Daniel Brezenoff, who made a Change.org petition urging electors not to vote for Trump.
He told Politico the ad is not aimed at choosing Clinton or a specific Republican alternative to Trump but intended to inspire electors to use their own judgment before voting.
There are times in the life of a nation when extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures, the ad reads. Now is such a time, and your courage and leadership are required.
The ad, which encouraged Republican electors to vote their conscious, appeared in the Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Austin American-Statesman, Salt Lake City Tribune and Tampa Bay Times. The ad will also appear on Thursday in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Wisconsin State Journal. All of the newspapers listed aside from The Washington Post primarily serve communities in states that turned red on Nov. 8.
"You, Electors, possess the power to prevent this outcome," the ad reads. "You are not bound to cast your vote for the candidate of your party and, as he won neither a majority nor even a plurality of the popular vote, there can be no question of undermining the will of The People."
The 538 electors will gather around the country on Monday to vote.
On Nov. 8, Trump won 306 electoral votes and Hillary Clinton got 232. For Trump to lose the presidency, 37 Republican electors would have to switch their vote on Dec. 19.
The chances of that happening are very unlikely.
Only one GOP elector, Chris Suprun from Texas, has vowed not to vote for Trump.
Suprun has claimed other GOP electors are planning not to vote for Trump either, but virtually all GOP electors contacted by The Hill have said they would vote for Trump.
The democrats’ actions remind me of that final scene in “The Sentinel”, where the demons were doing everything they could to prevent Alison from taking that Cross.
Which will happen on Monday.
Election tampering by Russia: Bad
Election tampering by LMSM: Normal
The winning.
So much winning.
I’m not sure how much more I can take.
this is Van Jones PR firm at work and the fifthy Dem frauds at the Commie Hill know it and hide that fact
Fake News - PR Lies .
A full page ad with a montage of photos of those who want Hillary in power, the source of her foreign donations, Benghazi and all the people she got killed in the process including Seal Team 6, the MB infiltration, the protesters setting flags on fire, beating up people, and looting buildings, maybe even Soros with a mention of the NWO and his many manipulations and shell activist corporations. If they want to include a photo of the county by county map of the votes which is very telling on what the vast majority want it might make them think twice.

Indeed. As per Conan:
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women: That is what is best in life!"
We are hearing their lamentations.
“A fool and his money are soon parted”. Now proved beyond belief.
Yes, I understand the difference. Electors MUST vote the way they’re state voted. Voters can vote anyway they want to.
Electors MUST vote the way their state voted. Convention voters could vote for anyone they wanted to vote for. Cruz told them to “vote their conscience”, meaning they should vote for him. You do understand the difference, don’t you?
They want a violent revolution with treasonous electors and enablers swinging from lampposts.
Did they really use conscious instead of conscience? What a maroon.
