An open letter to the President

Rights to view-Turning off video-Al Green

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment over the decision to cut off live feeds during the censure of Representative Al Green, preventing the public from witnessing Democratic lawmakers locking arms and singing in solidarity with him. This act of censorship is a direct assault on transparency, democracy, and the right of elected officials to express dissent without fear of reprisal. Representative Green has long been a champion for justice, and the move to censure him for exercising his right to free speech is both troubling and undemocratic. The American people deserve to see what happens in our halls of government, especially when elected officials are being punished for speaking out on matters of conscience. Cutting the live feed was an unacceptable attempt to hide the truth from the public, and it erodes trust in our democratic institutions. I urge you to take a stand against this suppression of free speech and demand accountability for those responsible for censoring the live feed. Congress must uphold the principles of transparency and fairness, ensuring that all voices—especially those dissenting against injustice—are protected. I look forward to your response on how you plan to address this issue.
