John,
Forwarding this because things are escalating fast, and we want to make sure you see exactly what's happening. A few weeks ago, we warned that Trump was trying to weaponize the government against anyone who challenges him. Since then, we’ve seen even more examples — journalists being threatened, nonprofits pressured, universities and schools targeted, and ordinary citizens intimidated simply for speaking out.
Every day, Trump is launching repeated attacks on fundamental American rights like free speech, the right to organize, and destroying the idea that government should serve the people, not punish them for disagreeing.
If Congress doesn’t act soon, we’re looking at a future where elected officials can use investigations, federal funding, and public resources as tools of political retaliation. That’s why the No Political Enemies Act is so critical. Passing this legislation would be a critical step toward protecting anyone and everyone from government abuse.
Please take a moment to read the email below again, and if you haven’t already, sign on today. Every signature is a message to Congress that we won’t stand by while the government is turned into a weapon.
Thanks,
Democratic Values Team

John,
To no one’s surprise, Donald Trump is using his power to punish anyone who stands up to him.
He’s coming after journalists who report the truth.
He’s trying to silence pundits and comedians who don’t pledge support to him.
He’s targeting universities and nonprofits that challenge him.
Even ordinary Americans who dare to dissent are at risk.
Trump and his allies are already using public institutions as political weapons. They’ve targeted news outlets, pulled broadcast licenses, and threatened investigations into critics. They’ve shown they’ll exploit national crises and personal tragedies just to tighten their grip on power.
That’s why we’re calling on Congress to immediately pass the No Political Enemies Act when they’re back in session.
This legislation would:
✅ Protect individuals, nonprofits, media outlets, faith groups, and schools from politically motivated prosecution.
✅ Stop federal funds from being used to silence dissent.
✅ Give citizens the right to hold government officials accountable when they abuse their authority.
This nation was founded on the principle of free speech. No president should be able to threaten investigations or use federal power to punish critics. Not now. Not ever.
Sign on now to tell Congress to pass the No Political Enemies Act and stop Trump’s plan to weaponize the government against his enemies.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
