John,
In recent months, protests have erupted around the
nation following the deaths of numerous Black people at the hands
of police. One hotspot of protests has emerged in Portland,
Oregon, where demonstrators have gathered almost every night
since the death of George Floyd.
In order to quell these protests, Trump took it upon
himself to send federal agents to the area, without the consent
of local authorities. These agents, oftentimes unidentified, have
employed extremely aggressive tactics to force an end to peaceful
protests including the use of tear gas, and physically assaulting
protesters. The DHS has confirmed reports that its agents have
been using unmarked vehicles to remove protesters from the
streets without explanation. They even teargassed Portland’s
mayor!
Despite these egregious abuses of power, Republican
leaders have chosen to stay silent -- allowing this mistreatment
of peaceful protesters to continue. This is unacceptable. Add
your name to our petition condemning Republican silence on this
issue. ( [link removed] )

John, the training received, and
the tactics and equipment used by ICE and Customs and Border
Protection officers are inappropriate for use against peaceful
protesters on the streets of America. And for the first time,
we’re seeing what that hard power looks like as it's being
deployed against US citizens on US soil. These developments are
especially ominous as we consider the frightening possibility
that Trump may use these forces to try to stay in the White House
if he loses the November election. It’s not outlandish to think
that this could happen!
This type of law enforcement and weaponry should never
be used against American citizens. It’s why Congressman Johnson
has worked so hard to demilitarize the police -- because who
knows how our Dictator-In-Chief may choose to misuse these tools?
John, we have a real crisis on
our hands, and despite all their cries against big government,
Republicans have barely said a word against this infringement of
civil liberties. Let’s show them that we’re listening and we
won’t let their silence go unnoticed. Sign on to hold Republicans
accountable for their silence by signing on to this petition NOW

Thanks so much for helping us bring accountability and
transparency to the corrupt Republican party.
