John,

Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election pulled our democracy back from the brink — but if Republicans take back Congress before Trump's next presidential campaign, that lifeline may only be temporary.

This is why our time is precious in these next few weeks. We have already worked to reverse the damage Donald Trump caused during his time in the White House. It is terrifying how much one man could abuse the powers of the presidency and weaken our democratic institutions.

The twice-impeached former president, who incited a violent insurrection against the U.S. Capitol, pushed dangerous conspiracy theories, and the Big Lie that he won the 2020 election — is still threatening our democracy from Mar-A-Lago.

The American people know that threats to our democracy are one of this country’s most significant issues. They also understand that some of the greatest threats to our democracy do not come from a foreign power but from within.

You've seen firsthand how nearly 2 years after leaving the White House, Trump is still capable of doing irreversible damage to our democracy and national security.

My legislation — the Protecting Our Democracy Act — is an ambitious set of reforms that would enshrine our democratic guardrails into law. No longer a suggestion. But a code.

This bill is designed to restore our system of checks and balances over the presidency, create greater accountability and transparency, and protect our elections.

With President Biden in the White House and Democratic majorities in Congress and the midterm elections fast approaching, we have a narrow window of opportunity to protect our democracy from presidential abuses of power. We must seize this moment.

Add your name as a citizen co-sponsor of the Protecting Our Democracy Act today.

Trump used the Presidency to enrich himself and his family, protect himself and his enablers from prosecution, attack our democratic institutions and his political opponents, encourage foreign interference in our elections, and end all accountability as we know it.

After the Watergate scandal — another dark time in American history — Congress took action, passing a series of landmark laws and reforms to prevent a future president from abusing their office the way Richard Nixon did. Those changes stood the test of time for half a century, but it is time for Congress to act again and enact new protections for our democratic institutions.

To ensure another wannabe autocrat like Trump cannot push our democracy to the brink. Again.

We desperately need to pass a new set of reforms to stop future presidents from abusing the power of the presidency, as we witnessed during the Trump presidency. If you’re with me, add your name to call for the passage of my Protecting Our Democracy Act ASAP.

With Democrats in control in Washington and an uncertain upcoming midterm election, we need to do everything in our power to prevent another Trump from undermining our democracy ever again. Thanks so much for your help and for standing by my side.
