Proper dissent
This open letter to the president, written and signed by several business school professors, is the kind of dissent we need to hear more of. Calm, respectful, and reasoned. Not just to the executive, but to individual legislators and to the media as well. Hysterical polemic screeds do little to help. They don't get your opposition to pause and think, and they make you sound like a loon to the moderate and undecided folks in the middle.
