Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, also known as the Disqualification Clause, explicitly bars any person from holding federal or state office if they took an “oath… to support the Constitution of the United States” as a federal officer and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or gave “aid or comfort” to insurrectionists.
Elected officials like Arizona Representative Paul Gosar, North Carolina State Representative Donnie Loftis and Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano may have participated in the January 6th insurrection.
They all swore an oath to the Constitution, and either joined the mob that breached police barriers and swarmed law enforcement at the United States Capitol or helped orchestrate the rallies on January 6th and related attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. They must be investigated and if warranted, they should be disqualified from office under the 14th Amendment.
That's not a matter of opinion or political preference, it's what the Constitution says.
Elected officials who participated in the insurrection must be banned from office, and bans on January 6 insurrectionists must be enforced. Sign our petition if you agree → [[link removed]]

CREW is taking legal action to prevent insurrectionists from holding office — and we have a winning strategy to get it done.
When Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin mobilized and rallied rioters to breach the Capitol grounds on January 6th, he violated his oath by participating in and aiding the insurrection. He had to be removed from office.
So we took Griffin to court – and we won. A New Mexico judge ordered Griffin be removed from office, effective immediately, ruling that the attack on the Capitol was an insurrection and that Griffin’s participation in it disqualified him under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
The precedent is set. Any person who participated in the January 6th insurrection after taking an oath to the Constitution must be removed or barred from office.
If you support our work and agree that we must remove insurrectionists from office, then sign our petition right now → [[link removed]]
Thanks,
Team CREW
