Friend,

Every day Trump is in office, the abuses grow bolder. Oversight is defied.
Allies skate free. Federal agencies bend to his will.

Congress knows it. The press knows it. We all know it.

The Protecting Our Democracy Act (PODA) has been reintroduced because we
cannot keep looking the other way while the abuses escalate.

This bill was written to close loopholes that make corruption possible. It
draws hard lines where “norms” have failed:

* Strengthening Congress’ power to investigate and enforce oversight
* Blocking corrupt pardons and financial self-dealing
* Protecting whistleblowers who expose abuse
* Banning campaigns from seeking or accepting foreign assistance

None of this should be controversial. These are baseline protections for
any functioning democracy. Yet every day without action, presidential
power expands further – unchecked by the Republican-controlled Congress –
and the damage spreads. The longer it goes unchecked, the harder it
becomes to repair.

PODA isn’t new. It passed the House in 2021 with bipartisan support, proof
that even then lawmakers understood the urgency. But the bill stalled in
the Senate – and today, the need for it is even more urgent.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress to pass PODA >>

We know one bill won’t solve everything. But refusing to act at all would
send a dangerous message: that corruption, abuse, and unchecked power are
now business as usual. That cannot stand.

Congress has been forced to act before – after Watergate, when a corrupt
presidency collided with a public that refused to accept it. The same
pressure is needed now.

In solidarity,

Zach at People For
