We have to send voices of dissent where possible and even if you are not actually out there protesting tonight as Donald Trump is inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States Of America there is a small thing that you can do!

The TV ratings send a signal about any event! And by not watching you can make sure you send a message that you don’t want to be a part it. However, if your TV is just turned off it won’t affect things at all.

ATTENTION! HELPFUL INFORMATION! There’s a lot of talk about people NOT watching the inauguration. The Grabber will be checking his ratings, and many may not know the way that the tv shows are rated.

To keep his rating LOW, you must have your television turned ON, but NOT tuned into any channel showing ANY inauguration coverage. If you don’t turn your tv on, his ratings will show higher because of the percentage of sets tuned in. So set up all your televisions to the geographic channel or cooking channel! Anything that is not covering the inauguration, basically!

– Television must be on, but NOT tuned into channels covering Trump. Please share this information! Copy and paste and spread the word
