Supporter,
President Biden must act to combat political corruption and protect our democracy. Our nation is facing unprecedented threats from MAGA Republicans: from the attempt to overturn the 2020 election on January 6th to the surge of anti-democratic legislation we’ve seen across the country in recent years.
President Biden recently said that protecting democracy is the “central issue” of his presidency, and so we are calling on him to back up his words with action.
President Biden has the power to combat corruption and protect our democracy and our right to vote, with the stroke of a pen, by taking executive actions that will strengthen our democracy. We must ensure that our elections are free, fair, and secure, providing every citizen with the opportunity to participate in the democratic process without fear or obstacles.
Steps President Biden can take right now to protect our democracy include measures to:1
- Require government contractors to disclose their political expenditures.
- Direct the Department of Justice to create a high-profile task force to protect voting rights.
- Direct the Department of Justice to use its various new tools to fight the influence of corrupt and/or illegal money on our democracy.
- Restrict the expansion of executive power over spending authorities and leadership vacancies.
- Enhance transparency at the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to protecting our democracy. Together, we can ensure that our democratic institutions remain resilient in the face of ongoing threats and that our upcoming elections are conducted safely, securely, and without obstacles from MAGA Republicans.
Sincerely,
Rio Tazewell
Director of Campaigns
