Dear John,
Even though the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that twice-impeached former
president Donald Trump is disqualified from the ballot because he incited
the white supremacist-led January 6 insurrection, the U.S. Supreme Court
let Trump off the hook and ruled that he will remain on the ballot
anyway.^1 This upsetting decision affects voters not only in Colorado, but
also Maine and Illinois, both of which were also seeking to remove Trump
from the ballot, as well as voters across the country who were fighting to
uphold our Constitution and keep an insurrectionist off their ballots and
out of office.^2
[ [link removed] ]We must act now. Will you sign the urgent petition to demand that no
president have "absolute immunity"?
This news comes after the Supreme Court announced that it would take up
Trump's "absolute immunity" appeal.^3 Trump is facing 91 felony
indictments, including ones for his interference with the 2020 election.^4
Instead of letting the unanimous D.C. circuit decision stand, SCOTUS is
aiding in Trump's delay tactics, scheduling the hearing for late April.
Trump packed the Supreme Court with his nominees, and now they are paving
the way for him to return to office. But SCOTUS doesn't decide the future
of our country, we do. [ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to make it clear that no
president should have "absolute immunity" from crimes and attacks on our
democracy.
Special counsel Jack Smith charged Trump with four federal felonies that
accuse him of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election,
leading up to and on January 6.^5 Trump is relying on the far-right
members of the court to shield him from accountability and
consequences—and so far, they are.
We can't allow a few corrupt members of the Supreme Court to undermine our
democracy. [ [link removed] ]Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass
