An Open Letter
To: Sen. Moreno
From: A verified voter in Cincinnati, OH
January 10
senate_both I am writing as a concerned citizen of [your district/state] to urge you to take action to uphold Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution.
This section, which was ratified after the Civil War, disqualifies any individual who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States from holding public office. It is clear that this provision was designed to protect our democracy from those who pose a threat to its stability and integrity.
Given recent events, including the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and the ongoing threats to our democratic institutions, I urge you to take a firm stance on enforcing this constitutional safeguard. No one who has encouraged, supported, or participated in acts of insurrection should be allowed to hold public office, regardless of their political position or influence.
We must uphold the rule of law and ensure that our leaders respect and protect the foundations of our democracy. By enforcing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, you have the opportunity to reaffirm your commitment to the Constitution and to safeguard the future of our nation.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to uphold your oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
