John,
DFA endorsed representative Jamaal Bowman has introduced the Congressional
Oversight of Unjust Policing Act, the COUP Act.
The COUP Act will investigate the attack on the U.S Capitol building and
establish a commission to address the failures of Capitol security.

Already, two Capitol Police officers have been suspended and others are
being investigated by the FBI. One officer took a selfie with the fascist
mob while the other donned a MAGA hat and gave out directions.
Just yesterday news broke from the Washington Post that an FBI report
warned of “war” at the U.S capitol, showing that there was prior knowledge
about potential widespread violence, yet no precautions were taken.
While we know that these domestic terrorists gathered at the Capitol
because Trump encouraged them to march to it, we don't have answers on how
they were able to breach the building.

Coup Act.

Our name is Democracy For America because we understand that protecting
and defending our democracy is a top priority. Believing in the ideals of
democracy means fighting for its principles and actively warding off
attacks against it.
This legislation is a matter of protecting our democracy. We must know how
this was allowed to happen.
This attack wasn't spontaneous. The presence of pipe bombs at the RNC and
DNC and terrorists going directly to unmarked offices of lawmakers make it
clear this was planned and we must find out how much the administration
and Capitol Police knew.
[ [link removed] ]Add your name as a co-signer of the COUP Act so we can form a national
commission to investigate this terrorist attack and ties between white
supremacists and Capitol Police.
Thank you for adding your name and making sure every leader in Washington
knows that we must protect our democracy.
