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.
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.
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
