Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney said the following yesterday:
“We know (Trump) tried once not to leave office, and he will have no incentive to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power and to leave office should be selected again,”.....“As frustrated as I know people get sometimes with policy disagreements you might have — and I certainly have policy disagreements with the Biden administration — I know the nation can survive bad policy. We can’t survive a president who is willing to torch the Constitution.” I highlight this to make the point that Republican elected officials can denounce Trump. We don't live in North Korea yet. Ms. Cheney denounced Trump even though it led to the loss of her Congressional seat. Sticking with Trump, or remaining silent about Trump, is a choice. Every elected Republican in every office has this choice to make and has the option to speak up. People in Houston and Harris County concerned about the fate of democracy should demand that elected officials fully reject Donald Trump and all attacks on democracy. It is essential to speak up even if it means losing your office or being run out of the Republican Party. It is Republican silence that has done so much to bring us to this point. It is the obligation of these officials to help fix what they have so badly broken. Please sign the Houston Democracy Project petition to make the pledge to show up for freedom in 2024 no matter what. The Houston Democracy Project works daily to inspire, organize and strengthen pro-democracy coalitions in Houston and Harris County. Please share word of the Houston Democracy Project and support the effort with your contribution. If you have a question about the Project or a suggestion, please send an e-mail to [email protected]
