Memo to Potential Signers: Rationale for Petition to Punish Trump & Group for Attempted Coup d'état 2020 & 2021

We must remove Trump and his group BEFORE he stumbles us into WWIII with nukes and BEFORE his slow motion coup d'état destroys our corrupt, feeble democracy and establishes a dictatorship. We must do this for the kids. They do not deserve the future adults are creating for them.

We have lived our lives in a democracy. But our sense and understanding of citizenship is inadequate. BUT the kids do not deserve to live in tyranny because we adults did not do our job.

The above picture was taken over 5 YEARS ago on the floor of Congress Jan. 6, 2021. Nearly all the Insurrectionists in Congress that day are still in Congress.

The people who conducted the Attack on the Capitol have been pardoned by Trump.

Trump and 185 members of Congress, who are all INSURRECTIONISTS under the 14th Amendment and thus criminals, are STILL on the government payroll. Attachment 2 at the bottom of this petition lists the 185 Insurrectionists to be Expelled using the 14th Amendment to our Constitution.

We pay these criminals and they help implement Trump’s slow motion coup taking over the US government. Day by day we move ever closer to nuclear war.

ISSUE: HOW DO WE STOP THE MADNESS?

Simple to ask, but difficult to stop.

SOLUTION: CONGRESS MUST IMMEDIATELY EXPEL THE INSURRECTIONISTS.

IT MUST THEN IMPEACHE TRUMP & HIS GROUP

THE SENATE THEN CONVICTS THEM ALL!

DEMS THEN TAKE OVER BOTH HOUSE IN CONGRESS

(the House for months & the Senate for possibly a month)

This is not the normal short petition. Daily you’re asked to sign simple petitions. Tell your legislator: VOTE for or against X, give me money and your email.

With your help, we are trying to get a set of legislators to THINK. That is hard for everyone.

The 535 members of the House and Senate have no legislation before them to "Expel The Insurrectionists" or “Impeach Trump And Group. ” Our objective is to get them to produce such House and Senate Resolutions (called “bills”) and vote for them.

The knee jerk reaction to just the idea of elected officials drafting such bills is:

"Oh, you idiot, that’s a waste of time. How can you NOT understand that first we have to win control of Congress in Nov. '26? ONLY then, can we impeach Trump! I need your money right now; the billionaires are after me! And if I am not re-elected, we will never be able to impeach Trump. etc.” Their BS never ends.

This petition is NOT simple. If you don’t have time to read/skim it, that’s ok just save the email for later or delete.

With this petition below, we brief a set of legislators (who are among the good thinkers in Congress) on what the problems are, what to do and how to do it. You all have to read the letter to understand what House and Senate members need to do as fast as possible -- not a year from now. It's quite complex.

If you agree, we invite you to sign the petition at this link: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/democracys-fai... and invite your friends to consider signing it also. Thank you!

We know that Trump and his group tried to overthrow our government at the end of his first term and on Jan. 6, 2021. From history we have a number of lessons from past overthrows/coup d'état/or coups. One source says that since 1950 there have been over 450 coups – about half are successful. In the late 1700 colonists conducted a coup, which we call our Revolutionary War, against King George of England.

But we have not had many coups against our government till Trump’s coup attempt.

Lesson 1: Do Not Let Them Repeat Insurrection. Do not let persons who try to overthrow democracy remain free, for they will try to overthrow the government again. And possibly be successful.

Lesson 2: Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied. Immediately investigate, charge, prosecute and provide justice to alleged insurrectionists. Do not allow alleged insurrectionists run free.

Lesson 3: Remove Insurrectionists from Government. Never allow insurrectionists to participate in or manage your democratic government.

Past Substantial Efforts to Impeach Trump. In the past 9 years Congressional Democrats have invested substantial energy into Impeaching Trump and some initial efforts into Expelling Insurrectionists. Eight House Resolutions (HRs) have been introduced to Impeach Trump since 2017. In 2019 the House passed its first Impeachment Resolution. But the Senate judged Trump not guilty (47 Yes and 53 No). In 2021 House again Impeached Trump. This time a Senate majority voted Trump guilty (57 voting guilty and 43 voting not guilty) but the vote to convict did not reach the 67 votes required (2/3rds of those present) to declare Trump guilty, Impeached and removed from office.

But if the Senate had Expelled its 8 Insurrectionists first, the 2/3 requirement would have dropped to 62 and the Senate would have needed only 5 more patriotic Republicans to vote to convict -- then Trump would have been removed from office.

Efforts to Impeach Thomas and Alito. In 2024 HRs were introduced to Impeach Thomas and Alito with no votes taken.

Efforts to Expel. In 2020 and 2021 a representative urged Speaker Pelosi to Expel the 126 members seeking to overturn the Nov. 2020 election results. This effort was part of the Insurrectional effort by the Texas Attorney General to petition to US Supreme Court to overturn the election results in 4 states and award the electoral votes to Trump based on fraudulent allegations.

In Jan. of 2021 a HR was introduced to Expel over 140 Insurrectionists who voted on the floor of Congress, Jan. 6th and 7th, to overturn the 2020 Presidential election Electoral College results.

In late 2022, using the conclusions of the “House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6th Attack on the National Capitol,” a HR to Expel Former Pres. Trump was introduced. No House votes were taken on either Expel HR.

Overall, Dems made a great effort to protect our nation from another coup. They nearly Impeached Trump a couple of times. But Trump was saved each time by votes from the 8 Insurrectionist Senators who have NOT YET been Expelled. And in the House the 170+ Insurrectionists still in the House always vote downs Dems efforts because they have a majority. Attachment #1 lists the excellent model HRs introduced from 2017 to the present. Attachment 2 lists the Insurrectionists still in Congress.

These Expel and Impeach resolutions need to be reviewed by Congressional members, experts and lawyers, updated, draft resolutions completed, circulated for co-sponsors, introduced & acted upon with privileged motions, motions to prohibit accused Insurrectionists from voting on issues when they have “conflicts of interest,” etc.

The Jan. 6th Comm. Requested Trump’s Prosecution. The most detailed Congressional investigation of what Trump and his fellow criminals did to attempt to overthrow our government was done by the “House Select Committee. Its final report late in 2022 to the Biden administration states Trump is the culprit and made formal criminal referrals to the US Dept. of Justice to further investigate Trump and his group.

The general charges against Trump are:

• Obstruction of an Official Proceeding
• Conspiracy to Defraud the United States
• Conspiracy to Make a False Statement and
• Conspiracy to Incite, Assist or Aid an Insurrection.

Their overall conclusion: "That evidence has led to an overriding and straight-forward conclusion: the central cause of January 6th was one-man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed. None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him.”

As you know Special Counsel Jack Smith and his Dept. of Justice staff investigated and filed charge in cases against Trump. But because Trump is now president again, the main case related to his attempted coup d'état has been placed on hold until he is no longer president. If Trump is eventually convicted in this case he may be sentenced to 20 years or more in prison. Note: The U.S. Dept. of Justice can recommence prosecution. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-tanya-chutka...
