Michael Levin, Member of Congress 12/8/19 Dear Mike In the next few days you will be casting a vote that will have consequences far beyond whether a President will face a Senate trial for removal from office. While it is your choice to make, as your constituent I am taking the opportunity to express my view, trusting that you will give it serious thought and then remit a timely response Senator Clinton has stated that she lost the election based on a single event, which was Director Comey's public letter to the Senate that the case against her criminal dereliction of safeguarding secret information had been breached. As far as I know this was the single article that predicted that she would lose the election because of this announcement, which I suggest you read. The writer, who happened to be me, faced unanimous condemnation for what what was an example of the group think, or the current term, bias confirmation, which resulted in a reaction that vitiated the rational thought process of the readers of this most popular liberal web site. I responded to each critical comment. yet did not get single reader to dare go on the record agreeing with my observation. This is the same dynamic that is occurring among the Democratic members of the House at this time. A virtually unanimous vote of Democrats to impeach the President will more than most examples of irrational group behavior, adversely affect the course of history. Nothing will solidify Donald Trumps grasp on power than Democrats uniting against him. I will continue to elaborate my argument on this website that I will begin right after posting this. Let me add, that if you are convinced by my argument, which happens to be informed by my obtaining a MPhil from Columbia University in Social Psychology that focused precisely the potency of group dynamics, you would have to stand alone in defying the very primal need for cohesion among the crowd. I would not be making this effort if I were not convinced that Democrats are about to make an historic mistake, one that reflects our human makeup which takes an act of rare courage to confront.
