Oppose Attempts to Rewrite January 6 Insurrection History

I am writing to express my deep concern over recent attempts to rewrite the history of the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. This event stands as one of the darkest days in our nation's history, and it is crucial that we preserve an accurate account of what transpired. Congressional studies have clearly established that President Donald Trump bears primary responsibility for the violence that unfolded that day. However, Trump and his allies are now engaged in a concerted effort to whitewash these events. They have formed a new committee to reinvestigate the insurrection, with Trump going so far as to call it a 'hoax' and referring to the rioters as 'political prisoners'. Let us not forget the facts: On January 6, following a rally led by Trump, his supporters breached the Capitol, resulting in injuries and deaths. This was a direct attack on our democratic process, as Congress was in session to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated. Trump's recent actions, including granting clemency to insurrectionists and pushing for a new investigation of the original House investigation, are deeply troubling. These moves threaten to undermine the extensive work done to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable. As my representative, I urge you to take a firm stand against any attempts to distort the reality of January 6. We must protect the integrity of our democratic institutions and ensure that the true history of this attack on our democracy is preserved. Please speak out against these revisionist efforts and support measures to reinforce the findings of the original investigations. The future of our democracy depends on our ability to confront uncomfortable truths and learn from our darkest moments. I ask that you use your position to champion transparency, accountability, and the preservation of historical fact in the face of these dangerous attempts at historical revisionism.
