Hundreds of Writers Sign Letter Against Trump
---------------------------------------------

More than 600 U.S. writers have signed an "open letter to the American
people" opposing Donald Trump's candidacy. Signed by authors including
Stephen King, Junot Díaz, Amy Tan and Dave Eggers, the letter reads in
part: "The rise of a political candidate who deliberately appeals to the
basest and most violent elements in society, who encourages aggression
among his followers, shouts down opponents, intimidates dissenters, and
denigrates women and minorities, demands, from each of us, an immediate
and forceful response."
