It's now public record

John, We’ve seen the testimonies.  The record now shows that President Trump engaged in bribery and extortion of a foreign government to help his re-election campaign.  But that doesn’t tell the whole story.  President Trump has abused the power of the presidency to target critics …

URGENT: Tell PBS to televise the Trump impeachment hearings

John, When impeachment proceedings against President Nixon began, the public was not convinced. But by the time he left office, Americans of all parties were overwhelmingly in support of his removal.  What changed? A major factor was PBS's decision to broadcast the Watergate hearings…

Impeachment For The People

John, We have reached a watershed moment in American history. Donald J. Trump has engaged in unprecedented corruption as President of the United States. Every day he remains in office is another day he subverts our democracy, endangers our lives, and betrays our country for his person…

Corporations Are Not People

John, Last week, we told you how Amazon has pumped over $1.5 million into Seattle’s city council elections in order to elect candidates sympathetic to its business practices. Not only does this massive corporate spending drown out the voices of ordinary Seattle voters, but because mor…

Amazon v. Democracy

Dear John, Happy Halloween! Here at Free Speech For People, there’s nothing scarier than a democracy in crisis. Take Seattle, for example: As of last week, Amazon has poured over $1.5 million into Seattle’s upcoming city council election through the local Chamber of Commerce’s super …

Nobody is Above the Law

John, A historic day is coming.  Since the day he took the oath of office, Donald Trump has engaged in repeated abuses of power and abuses of the public trust.  He refused to divest from his business interests around the world before assuming the presidency, setting himself on a coll…

Expose the cover-up

John, Buried in the whistleblower complaint which exposed the Ukraine scandal is this alarming claim: the Trump White House has been abusing a computer system for highly classified intelligence information to cover up transcripts of presidential calls with foreign leaders which are “p…

TODAY: Urge Congress to Support the Democracy For All Amendment!

John, With each passing election, we continue to witness the devastating effects that Supreme Court decisions like Citizens United have had on our democracy. Every day our voices are drowned out as wealthy interests and giant corporations pour money into the political process -- in an…

Meltdown

John, As he now faces a formal impeachment inquiry with a majority of the American public in support of it, President Trump is in full meltdown. He has engaged in reckless foreign policy actions, leading to a humanitarian crisis for tens of thousands of Kurds at the Turkish-Syrian bor…

It's time to overturn Citizens United

John, In its Citizens United v. FEC ruling in 2010, the US Supreme Court swept away a century of precedent that barred corporate money in our elections and endorsed the dangerous fiction that corporations have the same constitutional rights as living, breathing people. The most direct…

The Fight for Election Security

John, During his July 24th testimony to Congress, Special Counsel Robert Mueller stressed the seriousness of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, warning that Russia is working to undermine the 2020 election “as we speak.” Senator Mitch McConnell later approved an additional $2…

abuse of power

The Mueller investigation is only focused on whether the President or any of his associates committed violations of federal criminal law. But the impeachment process does not require a finding that the President has committed a federal criminal violation. It only requires a showing of …
