14.3 and why the former president should be disqualified from any future race or ballot

In a multiracial democracy, ALL people deserve to be valued, pursue their dreams, and advance progress together. With love in our hearts and hard work, we will reclaim our nation from the cruelty, chaos, and confusion. It is our duty to defeat fascism and win liberty and justice for all.

Speaking of fascism, did you know one of the warning signs is fraudulent elections?¹

There is nothing more fraudulent than allowing a known insurrectionist promoter to run for public office-let alone the highest office in the nation-president.

For every state in our nation, the power to prevent an insurrectionist from appearing on the ballot lies with each states’s Secretary of State. In fact, in 2022 two different states (Georgia² and New Mexico³) heard Section 3 challenges against those involved in the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Disqualification under Section Three of the 14th Amendment does not require any prior criminal conviction - for insurrection or otherwise. CREW⁴, won the first case removing someone from office for violating Section Three in 150 years. The case removed former Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin and he had no prior criminal conviction for insurrection.⁵

The U.S. Constitution prohibits the former president from running for future office, and it would be fraudulent to allow him a spot on any ballot.

Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Disqualification from Holding Office

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Furthermore, Free Speech for People, recently sent letters to Secretaries of States urging them to address this critical issue now. “ Mr. Trump’s conduct encouraging⁶ the “Big Lie” of a stolen election, encouraging⁷ and inciting an insurrection, and facilitating that insurrection by refusing to intervene to stop it despite urgent requests that he do so and by supervising subordinates who actively blocked the National Guard from assisting the besieged Capitol Police, renders him ineligible for any federal office, including that of president.”⁸

According to a recent opinion piece by Robert Reich in the Guardian:

Filing deadlines for 2024 presidential candidates will come in the next six months, in most states. Secretaries of state – who in most cases are in charge of deciding who gets on the ballot – must refuse to place Donald Trump’s name on the 2024 ballot, based on the clear meaning of section three of the 14th amendment to the US constitution.

We can and must prevent an insurrectionist from appearing on any ballot in America. Here are FOUR people power actions we can take:

3. Can you do a google search on your state and the secretary of state and help us crowd source the contact information? We are looking for the state, secretary of state first and last name, street address, city, state, zip, phone, fax, email, and link where you found information. Please click here to complete the form. We are gathering this information to help with future calls-to-actions.

4. Call the Secretary of States office for your state and let them know it would be fraudulent of their office to allow an insurrectionist a spot on any ballot in your state.

I believe in the power of the people. I have seen the love and determination of folks stepping up to write letters and postcards to voters, signing petitions and letter campaigns, making calls, sending texts, hitting doors, and dropping literature. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices. - Laurie Woodward Garcia, People Power United
