Friends and Neighbors,
Yesterday, The Washington Post spotlighted an opinion piece written by myself and fellow Democratic House Chairs Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, John Yarmuth, Zoe Lofgren, Eliot Engel, and Richard Neal.
In the article, I join my colleagues in the urgent need for a series of new reforms to protect our democracy from a corrupt president and lawless administration.
We began drafting such reforms over a year ago to address Trump's unprecedented abuse of power. They seek to demand accountability, root out corruption, and ensure transparency in government from elected officials. This new bill is called the Protecting Our Democracy Act -- you can read all of the reforms included in the legislation by reading the full Washington Post article here >>
Our list of reforms includes mandating the principle that no one is above the law, especially the president. The reform bill also seeks to prohibit self-serving interests in the DOJ or by the president, to suspend statutes of limitations for a sitting president or vice president, and more. The op-ed article details the reforms we're proposing with this legislation.
Similar to the reforms passed following Watergate, our reforms are to help prevent and stop the damage that Trump's presidency has inflicted on our government and our country.
And in order to continue introducing and passing meaningful legislation and root out corruption in the White House, I need your help making sure that I can carry on the fight in Congress.
Can I count on you to stand with me in cleaning up the White House by making a donation right away? Pitch in now so that I can continue reforming our government and holding elected officials accountable to serve the American people >>

Thank you for helping me protect our democracy,
Carolyn
