We can never get this moment back.
Our Constitution. Our democracy. Our freedom. It’s all on the line.
Donald J. Trump is an adjudicated insurrectionist, constitutionally disqualified from holding office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for the deadly assault on our Capitol four years ago. Every member of Congress has sworn an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Unless lawmakers remove his current disability by a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress, or reject the certification of his electoral votes, they, too, will be in violation of their oaths.
As now-Senator Adam Schiff said in the first impeachment to those who chose to to acquit Trump, “…your name will be tied to his with a cord of steel and for all of history, but if you find the courage to stand up to him – to speak the awful truth to his rank falsehood – your place will be among the Davids who took on Goliath. If only you will say, ‘Enough!’”
We urge Congress to summon that uncomfortable, but necessary courage on January 6, 2025, and avoid the abysmal legacy of failing our nation and Constitution when it mattered most.
It only takes 1/5 of each body to raise an objection under the Electoral Count Act. As explained by former editors of the Columbia Law Review and Yale Law Journal, “If the objection is sustained by majority vote in each house, the vote is not counted and the number of votes required to be elected is reduced by the number of disqualified votes. If all votes for Trump were not counted, Kamala Harris would be elected president.”
Courage is contagious, and WE THE PEOPLE are here to lead the way.
