Everyone from Wharton students to Garrison Keillor to hundreds of American authors have penned open letters to Donald Trump telling him more or less to cut it out, with varying degrees of effectiveness. Now, an anti-Trump super PAC wants to make it a little easier to stand up to the Republican nominee and tell him, "you don't represent us" — no matter who the "us" might be.
"Based in New York, the new group called Not Who We Are will serve as a clearinghouse for open letters rejecting the Republican nominee, providing both templates for the letters and a hub for outreach to get groups to adopt them, with digital organizing that will include paid social media," Politico reports, based on comments from people involved with the super PAC.
