Here's a letter shown on the Jessica Denson video, and I thought it might help people compose their own to their representatives. MANY PEOPLE NEED TO KEEP CONTACTING THEIR REPRESENTATIVES TO GET THROUGH TO THEM: https://www.youtube.com/live/fkRnnglQm4U

"I had written about the 14th amendment to both of the Colorado senators and my district’s representative. I received form letters in return. My representative sent a second letter in which he stated that Trump and Vance had won the election and that the peaceful transfer of power is a cornerstone of our democracy. This was my reply to that letter.

I appreciate your letter. I know that you know that you took an oath to defend the Constitution. The President-elect was adjudicated in the State of Colorado to be an insurrectionist. Although the US Supreme Court ruled candidate Trump was not disqualified from being on the ballot, the 14th Amendment of the Constitution requires that the President-elect is disqualified from holding the office for which he was elected unless a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress removes the disqualification.

This is the law you took an oath to defend and protect. The Constitution is a cornerstone of our democracy. Imposing the disqualification demanded by the 14th Amendment is not in violation of the peaceful transfer of power. It is a protection and defense of the Constitution itself. If Congress fails us in supporting and defending the Constitution, then all is just rhetoric with no meaning."

IF YOU CAN'T GO TO DC FOR THE HTTPS://NOWMARCH.ORG MARCH ON JAN 3-5, DONATE WHATEVER YOU CAN TO HELP FUND THE EVENT.

We have got to get through to our spineless representatives.
