Remove Federal Officers from Washington State

As a constituent in Seattle, I beg you to invoke the 3rd Amendment and remove the Federal military forces from Seattle. The protests in Seattle are peaceful, and there is no need for outside militia to come enforce peace with lethal means. Tear gas and similar chemical weapons should never be used by a government on its citizens. The presence of these federal troops and their threat of violence against peaceful protesters in nothing short of a violation of our 1st Amendment right for peaceful assembly. If the safety of your citizens truly matters, you will remove these federal enforcers from Washington State. Please follow the footsteps of the Mayor of DC and invoke the 3rd Amendment to remove these troops during peace time.
