Friend,

Rep. Mike Johnson is now the most powerful election denier in the
government.

Before being elected Speaker of the House, Johnson was the literal
architect of a scheme to undermine the Constitution so extreme that even
the current corrupt Supreme Court didn’t go for it. He was the author of
the “independent state legislature” theory that would have given MAGA
Republicans the power to throw out the will of the people in the 2020
election.(1)

Three years later, Johnson STILL hasn’t admitted that Donald Trump lost
the election. And now he is in charge of all of the legislation that will
move forward in the House of Representatives -- including election law.

The American people deserve a leader that tells the truth about our
democracy. Courage California has joined a coalition of pro-democracy
advocates to demand that Speaker Johnson admit that Trump lost.

Johnson has only been Speaker for a few weeks, but he’s already proven
himself to be one of the most extreme representatives we’ve ever seen.

He has stated that the U.S. doesn’t have a gun problem, that evolution
isn’t proven science, that the church should influence government, and
that homosexuality is a sin.(2)

But there perhaps isn’t any more important tenet to our government than
accepting election results, and it’s critical that the Speaker of the
House agrees. Johnson will be in charge of election legislation, and if he
is going to undermine that, we need to know now.

That’s why we must put as much pressure as possible on Johnson to answer
the 2020 election question.

Trump’s loss?

Thank you for joining the fight.
