John,

In a year full of unprecedented events, these
last few weeks post-election have been—not
surprisingly—unprecedented.

We’ve seen a defeated president ranting and
raving about rigged elections, elected GOP officials unwilling
to speak the truth, rumors about preemptive pardons and bribes,
and an administration delaying the peaceful transition of power.

To make sense of it all, I hosted a virtual
town hall with two noted scholars from opposite ends of the
political spectrum—Caroline Fredrickson, senior fellow at the
Brennan Center for Justice, and Paul Rosenzweig, a conservative
legal scholar at the R Street Institute. Both offered helpful
insights into how we can fix some of the problems Donald Trump is
leaving in his wake.

If you believe we as a nation must clean up the mess
Trump has made, not just these past four weeks but these past
four years, will you sign my petition today? It is important that
we stand together now — united.

Caroline and Paul reassured us that this was
the fairest, most scrutinized election in our nation’s history,
and Trump’s lawsuits trying to overturn the results are without
merit. But they also warned that his baseless accusations are
hurting our electoral system and our democracy.

While both said they were worried when Trump
threatened to block the presidential transition and deny Joe
Biden and his team access to critical information to keep our
nation safe, secure, and running properly, they believe Biden’s
appointees have the experience and skills needed to set our
nation back on track quickly.

Regarding the all-important question of whether
Trump and his family should be held accountable for any crimes
they’ve committed, Caroline and Paul agreed they should. It’s an
important feature of our nation that no one is above the law. But
they cautioned that any legal proceedings must be done carefully
to ensure transparency and fairness.

House Democrats have been working hard to pass
legislation that will help rein in out-of-control leaders like
Donald Trump, but with Mitch McConnell in charge, our efforts
have gone nowhere in the Senate.

If you want Congress to institute laws that prevent
presidents from manipulating our government for their own
personal gain and threatening the well-being of our nation,
please add your name to our petition right away!
