Accountability for January 6th: Protect Democracy, Prevent Future Violence

The recent attempt to downplay the role of a former president in the January 6th, 2021 attack on the Capitol is alarming. This event, marked by violence and loss of life, was a direct assault on our democracy. It is imperative to hold accountable those who deny the 2020 election results and the severity of the insurrection. Ignoring or minimizing these events risks a repeat of such violence. The Colorado Supreme Court has already disqualified the former president from the state's 2024 presidential primary ballots under the 14th Amendment. It is urged that you consider the implications of this ruling and the potential for future violence when discussing this resolution. The focus should be on preserving the integrity of our democracy and ensuring the safety of our citizens.
