People For Member,
Four years of Donald Trump tested the limits of our democracy and exposed
just how fragile it was in the wrong hands. Years of corruption, nepotism,
greed, and near-fascism symbolized the Trump Administration as it lay
waste to presidential norms and the Constitution.
Thankfully our democracy was pulled back from the brink in the 2020
elections, but because we persevered this time, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t
act to prevent future tyrants like Trump from wielding and bending their
powers to their advantage. We can and must act to put reasonable limits on
the executive branch and increase transparency and accountability for
those who hold the highest office.
[ [link removed] ]Sign and send the petition now and urge Congress to pass the Protecting
Our Democracy Act, which would curb unconstrained executive branch power,
limit emergency powers, prohibit self-pardons, and prevent political
interference at the DOJ! >>
The Protecting Our Democracy Act (PODA) would also:
* Root out corruption by preventing presidents from profiting from
public office,
* Protect our elections from foreign interference,
* Codify into law the requirement that all major party presidential and
vice-presidential candidates publicly disclose 10 years of tax
returns,
* Bolster Congress' ability for oversight, expediting the enforcement of
congressional subpoenas and increasing protections for whistleblowers,
and
* Other essential checks on the presidency
These commonsense measures would ensure that NO president is above the law
and would restore balance across our government.
If you believe that our democracy should be protected from future
presidents like Trump who would prefer to run roughshod over our
Constitution, then please add your name today.
[ [link removed] ]Join the thousands across the country demanding that Congress pass PODA
to protect our democracy! >>
By adding your voice and urging Congress to pass this important bill we
can be better prepared to ensure the survival of our democracy from future
far-right presidents.
Thanks for all that you do,
Zach, People For the American Way
