This is a simple petition to hold legislators accountable for their actions. President Trump was not alone in fomenting the sentiments that let to the insurrection of January 6th, 2020. The President had a substantial number of supporters, many of them in the US House of Representatives and the US Senate.
As such, this petition implores the House and Senate leadership, for once, to set aside partisan differences and act for the future of the nation to hold their own accountable for their actions.
In that spirit we demand that:
Any member of the US House of Representative or the US Senate who stated it as a fact, within the legislative body they serve in, any news-media outlet, social-media platform, email blasts to followers or any like instrument of news dissemination, after November 3, 2020 that:
1) There was widespread fraud in the 2020 elections; or2) That President Trump actually won the election; or3) That President-elect Biden (President Biden as of January 20th, 2021) stole the election; or4) That President-elect Biden (President Biden as of January 20th, 2021) was not the legitimately elected future President of the US
Should face a vote for expulsion from their respective legislative body for assisting in the incitement of an insurrection in these United States.
We, the people, do not feel that any healing in the nation is possible until those who explicitly and implicitly aided the President in fomenting a deadly insurrection are held accountable. Healing can not occur without accountability and as our leaders have a moral obligation to set an example to hold their own accountable.It is easy to take the lazy and convenient road and find excuses for wrong-doers. But as leaders of this nation our representative and senators are supposed to understand that words have consequences and if they misuse their platform to use words that ultimately lead to something as threatening to our nation as an insurrection, then they should be called to account for their actions.
