Yes we are both authors but we are very concerned about our American Democracy.
I made this petition to make sure that our democracy will not die. Doesn’t matter if you are a democrat, republican, independent or just a citizen because we are all in this together.
I call upon the majority of Americans who love our country, constitution, and flag to speak out in favor of preserving our democratic values. These values include but are not limited to freedom, equality, justice, and fair elections where the will of the people determines who serves us in public office.
Let us also reject any attempt by governors, state legislatures, the United States Congress, or even the Supreme Court to overturn our inalienable voting rights of “We the People.” All those who strive to conspire and engage in actions to restrict or suppress our voting rights are guilty of sedition and treason. They must be held accountable by the United States Department of Justice and by the 14th Amendment to our Constitution.
Moreover, I call upon the majority of Americans to speak out against the existential threat of man-made climate change and global warming. All elected officials who fail to pass legislation to save our planet and our species must not be re-elected to serve in any public office.
I call upon all Americans to take a stand against hate, violence, prejudice, and threats to people who express their opinions or peacefully demonstrate according to our first amendment rights. Any threats or aggressive actions toward our fellow Americans, school boards, and our institutions must be prosecuted and held accountable by the laws of our land.
I also call upon the majority of Americans to refuse to be held captive by the tyranny of misinformation, lies, and propaganda by any news/social media organization. It’s time to embrace the facts, the guidance of science, and the importance of compliance with CDC recommendations to prevent future and devastating pandemics.
So, who am I? I am just a retired social worker and veteran of the United States Army. I love American Democracy. Will you stand with me and speak out?
