Re: Friend, sign on: Urge President Biden to take executive action to protect democracy

Friend, the more we learn about the new House Speaker, the clearer it becomes that the [threats to our democracy]( are as present, and powerful, as ever. With MAGA blocking legislative efforts to protect and secure our elections, we need President Biden to take unilateral action. Next week, just one year out from the 2024 election, pro-democracy activists will deliver petition signatures directly to the White House. We're calling for President Biden to take additional executive action to fight corruption, enhance transparency of corporate lobbying, prevent foreign money from influencing our elections, and create a White House Office of Democracy that can ensure that the U.S. Government is using every tool available to protect voting rights and American democracy, among other key pro-democracy reforms. [Sign the petition today to ensure it's added to the delivery next week. President Biden, use the full power of your office to combat corruption and protect democracy!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Keep fighting, Monique Teal, Daily Kos Read more about why President Biden must take executive action below. --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, throughout President Biden's first term, Republicans have repeatedly blocked common sense legislation that would ensure that every eligible American has access to the ballot box and protection against anti-democratic attacks. Now, MAGA Republicans have rallied around Mike Johnson, [a 2020 election denier](, as speaker. With Donald Trump still the GOP frontrunner and his co-conspirators still pushing his big lie, the threats to our democracy and freedoms rage on. Thankfully, we elected President Biden, who can take unilateral [executive actions]( to strengthen our democracy. [Sign the petition to President Biden: Take the lead with immediate, decisive actions to bolster our democracy’s defenses and proactively strengthen our country’s commitment to civil rights. Signatures will be delivered on November 7.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Elections impact everything that touches our daily lives: freedom from gun violence, freedom to choose how, when, and with whom to build a family, freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water, and more. That's why President Biden [has made]( protecting democracy the “central issue” of his presidency, and issued a voter access executive order earlier this year. However, there is more he can do with the power of his pen, including: - Fight corruption that’s undermining public confidence in American democracy, - Enhance transparency of corporate lobbying, - Prevent foreign money from influencing our elections, and - Create a White House Office of Democracy that can ensure that the U.S. Government is using every tool available to protect voting rights and American democracy. Implementing these strategies can help strengthen our democracy and continue our commitment to an inclusive, secure, fair and accessible electoral system.
