To protect our communities from convicted felons, I strongly request you consider following along with the Illinois governor and preventing state hiring of any J6 convict by institution of a law or order. Many of them have since convicted other crimes and are threatening revenge. Governor Pritzker’s letter was strong and intentional. I implore you to act on behalf of your constituents. His letter states: Dear Director DeVaughn: One of my most important duties as Governor is protecting public safety in the State of Illinois. Recently, Donald Trump issued more than 1,500 clemencies and pardons for individuals who were convicted or accused of rioting at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. These rioters attacked law enforcement officers protecting people in the Capitol, disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, and undermined bedrock principles of American democracy. These rioters were accused or convicted of a combination of felonies and misdemeanors, including but not limited to: violence against law enforcement officers, threats against Members of Congress, destruction of federal property, and many other crimes. These crimes attacks threatened public safety as Members of Congress, staff, and other workers who were forced to hide from the violence for hours. No one who attempts to overthrow a government should serve in government. Your duty to our great state demand you stand up to tyranny and demonstrate the law in our state and nation still has meaning. No one is above the law.
