I am writing to express my strong support for the S.3582 - No Rewards for January 6 Rioters Act and to urge you to lend your full support to this critical legislation. This bill is essential to ensuring that those who were involved in the violent insurrection on January 6, 2021, are held accountable for their actions and do not receive any form of taxpayer-funded benefits. The January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol was a direct assault on our democracy, the rule of law, and the peaceful transition of power. It was an attempt to overturn the will of the American people and undermine the foundational principles of our country. As we continue to process the repercussions of that day, it is imperative that we send a clear message: anyone who participated in the attack should not be rewarded in any way, including through federal programs, benefits, or pardons. The No Rewards for January 6 Rioters Act will ensure that individuals who engaged in violent acts during the insurrection are not eligible for federal assistance or programs, reinforcing the idea that there are real consequences for those who seek to destabilize our government and disrupt our democracy. This bill is a necessary step toward accountability and ensuring that such actions are not incentivized or rewarded. I urge you to stand with the American people and support this bill. It is crucial that we take action to prevent any further erosion of trust in our democratic institutions and make it clear that those who sought to harm our country will face the appropriate consequences. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope that you will prioritize this important legislation and work toward its swift passage.
