John,
Yesterday, Donald Trump took his attack on American democracy into new unprecedented territory. Trump tweeted his desire to delay the presidential election until he deemed it “safe.” The Constitution does not permit the president to make this decision, but that doesn’t mean Trump won’t do everything he can to try to pressure political allies across the country to do his bidding.
This is the latest in an ever-growing wave of corruption from the White House. Just three weeks ago, Trump abused the presidential pardon power to commute the prison sentence of longtime ally Roger Stone. Free Speech For People was quick to respond by calling on the House Judiciary Committee to open a new impeachment investigation against President Trump and by filing an urgent motion to submit an amicus brief in U.S. v. Stone on why the commutation of Stone’s prison sentence is unconstitutional.
We are working around the clock to defend our democracy and our Constitution.
Free Speech For People has also been fighting in the courts to ensure a safe and secure election this November. We have filed lawsuits in North Carolina, Texas and Pennsylvania to challenge dangerous election practices that threaten the health and safety of voters and undermine the constitutional right to vote. The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted African American and Latino citizens and our lawsuits seek court intervention to discontinue unsafe election practices that will have particular adverse impacts for voters of color.
One of those lawsuits did not sit well with the President. The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee recently filed a motion seeking to block our push for a safe and secure election in Pennsylvania. We will be opposing that motion. Elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and the fundamental rights of all voters to cast their ballots safely and securely must be protected.
We could not do this work without you. Thanks to your support, we are engaged in this fight across the country. But it is not over yet. Please chip in to help us uphold our democracy and our Constitution.
