One of the most patriotic things you can do in this nation isn’t necessarily serving in uniform; it’s exercising your First Amendment rights and speaking truth to power.

John, that’s exactly what I’m going to ask you to do today.

Please add your name to show Donald Trump that Chicago will not back down. We need lots of signatures to send a message to Trump that Americans will not let him overrun our cities for his own gain.

ADD YOUR NAME

Trump is federalizing the National Guard in Illinois against our will.

I went to war and was federalized as a member of the National Guard to defend America’s freedoms, so you better believe I’m going to speak out about this.

This extreme abuse of the military is an affront to American values.

If you agree that our nation’s military should not be used to intimidate citizens in their own communities, add your name to tell the Trump Administration to stay out of Chicago.

ADD YOUR NAME

If Donald Trump really wanted to fight crime, he would stop defunding the police.

Instead, he diverted $800M in funding for crime prevention efforts.

So let’s be clear about what’s really going on here: He’s terrorizing citizens in an attempt to expand his power and punish opponents.

That’s just not who we are. It’s authoritarian.

So please, one more time, here’s the link to tell Donald Trump that Chicago will not accept his intimidation tactics.

Thank you for using your voice,

Tammy
