Dear President Trump,

If you are afraid of a free and fair election and cannot commit to a peaceful transfer of power, the Constitution offers another way out:

Resign.

#DefendDemocracy

This is not partisanship, it’s patriotism. Since our founding, RepresentUs has staunchly supported Americans of every stripe whose love of democracy is stronger than their love of a political party.

We are conservatives and progressives who believe it is the fundamental right of every U.S. citizen to vote. Like every American, we despise corruption and self-dealing.

In your 3½ years in office, you have:
• Rebuffed conclusive and deeply troubling evidence of foreign meddling in U.S. elections and to this date have taken virtually no action
• Made dozens of baseless assertions that mail-in voting is fraudulent or insecure—it is not

• On July 19, 2020,(1) you refused to assure the American people that you would accept the results of a free and fair election, win or lose
• And on July 30, 2020,(2) you moved with wanton disregard for the U.S. Constitution to delay the election

In those same 3½ years, RepresentUs, our allies and millions of members across the political spectrum have won scores of anti-corruption laws across the nation….

• We’ve banned lobbyists from giving gifts to politicians and introduced the nation’s toughest transparency measures
• We’ve fought gerrymandering with effective independent and bipartisan citizen commissions

• We’ve implemented open primaries and ranked-choice voting in cities and states across America
• We’ve expanded access to secure, modern, pandemic-proof mail-in voting and automatic voter registration

Mr. President, you can be sure we will continue to defend our great democracy no matter who sits in the Oval Office.

— RepresentUs #DefendDemocracy
