Dear Supporter,
Trump’s comments earlier this week that he’d welcome foreign influence on his behalf in the next election should have every one of us – on all ends of the political spectrum – worried.
It’s urgent that Congress acts to make sure it’s clear to candidates for public office that foreign entities interfering in our elections is an attack on our democracy and cooperating with those attacks, besides being highly unethical and thoroughly unpatriotic (if not traitorous), could be illegal.
That’s why it’s imperative that Congress pass the Foreign Influence Reporting in Elections (FIRE) Act, a bill recently introduced by Senator Warner which would require campaigns to report foreign attempts to interfere in elections to the FBI and the FEC.
The Mueller report made clear that American elections are vulnerable to outside interference and attacks by foreign entities, and after Trump’s latest remarks the need for election monitoring and oversight clearly is more dire than ever. Now that the Executive Branch has openly incentivized foreign entities to repeat the attacks of 2016, it is up to Congress to act quickly before we are too deep into the 2020 campaigns. According to a recent poll, 84% of Americans-- including 75% of Republican voters-- would support a bill of this nature, but Republicans in Congress have refused to act on its passage.
It is imperative that a bill of this nature pass NOW before the 2020 election.
Sign the petition now to fight back against this attack on our election security!
Thanks for everything you do.
