John,

Sign if you agree: Elected who participated in the insurrection must be banned from office, and bans on January 6 insurrectionists must be enforced!

The U.S. Constitution provides eligibility requirements for people who want to run for public office. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is clear: No elected official who previously swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution may serve if they "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the Constitution.

To that end, electeds need to be investigated to determine if they meet the constitutional qualifications for office or are disqualified for engaging in insurrection. 

In the aftermath of the January 6th attack, several elected officials, including Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, North Carolina State Rep. Donnie Loftis, and Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano, have been implicated in the insurrection.

Mastriano specifically not only mobilized the mob but also participated in the fake electors' scheme and joined the mob within the restricted area of the Capitol grounds. A new report makes clear that his actions warrant investigation and accountability under the Pennsylvania Senate rules and the Pennsylvania Constitution. 

Accountability for those involved in the January 6 attack is essential to preserving the integrity of our democracy. We must send a clear message that those who seek to undermine our government through violence and insurrection have no place in elected office.

Insurrectionists have no business serving as elected officials and are barred from office. That's not a matter of opinion or political preference, it's what the Constitution says. 

Sign if you agree: Elected who participated in the insurrection must be banned from office, and bans on January 6 insurrectionists must be enforced!

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
