The term "Silent Majority" was coined by Richard Nixon in a speech, Nov
3, 1969, to justify the break of his campaign promise to end the Vietnam
War, as he called on his silent majority to support his decision to
continue the war. 500,00 protesters gathered at the Washington Memorial
Nov 15. Nixon, confident in his support, informed the press he was
watching a football game. It was a myth then just as it is now. The
President Elect never had a silent majority, he had an immensely vocal
minority. We are the silent majority, the silenced majority, made silent
Nov 8, 2016, made more silent and invisible daily. We must be silent no
longer.
