No clemency for Peters
To: Gov. Polis
From: A verified voter in Denver, CO
January 9
No pressure is significant enough to consider offering clemency to Tina Peters.
We are at a crucial time in our democracy that requires vigilance and accountability. By commuting her sentence you will effectively tell the country that Colorado is comfortable playing a crucial role in the downfall of American democracy. Let me be perfectly clear, that is unacceptable. When democratic processes are under attack, it is the responsibility of those persons in positions of leadership to stand firm and do what is right, what is moral, and what is just. You must stand firm against these attacks from the Trump regime. We need accountability if we are to survive the next few years as a free country. Do not be the nail in the coffin of our democracy.
