John, This year is off to an incredible start here at Free Speech For People. Faced with unprecedented attempts to undermine our republic, we are spearheading actions across the country to protect our democracy. Our success in our work relies on you, our supporters. Donate today to help us ensure that we have the people and resources available to defend our democracy and our Constitution. Here are some of the things we’ve accomplished in the first two months of 2022: - We are representing North Carolina voters challenging insurrectionist Congressman Madison Cawthorn’s eligibility for re-election: Under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, Cawthorn’s efforts to facilitate the January 6th insurrection represent a direct attack on our democracy and violate his oath to “protect and uphold the Constitution.” Despite Cawthorn’s best efforts, the case against him remains strong.
- We are pushing to end foreign-influenced corporate spending in California elections: Earlier this month, California Assemblymember Alex Lee introduced the “Stop Foreign Influence in California Elections Act,” barring multinational corporations from contributing to candidates, parties, or committees (including super PACs) or from engaging in their own direct election spending. Assemblymember Lee’s bill is based on our model legislation, passed in Seattle in 2020 and under consideration in several other states.
- We relaunched our 14point3 campaign with Our Revolution: On the one-year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, we announced our partnership with Our Revolution to relaunch the 14point3 campaign, urging Secretaries of State to bar current and former elected officials who engaged in the January 6th insurrection from appearing on any future ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Our Revolution held rallies for the cause this month in California, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Ohio.
We’re proud of our accomplishments to date, but we still have a great deal of work to do. Chip in today: With your help, we can continue to hold our elected officials accountable and reclaim our democracy for we, the people.
