To: The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Donald Trump
Stop the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh!
With the Trump Administration under investigation, and Mr. Kavanaugh's statement about the powers of the President, this appointment has serious ramifications.
Why is this important?
To the House of Representatives, Members of the Senate, my fellow Americans, and, most pointedly, President Donald J. Trump,
My name is Charles Porter. I am a middle aged, working class American man. And I am forming this petition in the hopes that there is still decency remaining in what we call America. Since President Trump has been in office, I have watched the decline of the country I love. Allow me a moment to give you a brief overview of my family ties to our nation.
My ancestors were among the first pilgrims to this land. My family, through my paternal grandmother, share family lineage with President GeorgeWashington. I am a direct descendent of the first Rear Admiral of the U.S. Navy. My family has been as American as one can possibly be.
Sadly, I no longer recognize the America my family helped establish, uphold, and defend. And I fear we are on the verge of a constitutional crisis as never seen before. Our President's campaign and administration has been under investigation for over a year and a half, the results of which should be widely known by now. And now we have the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh as SCOTUS.
This same Brett Kavanaugh, has written he believes the President should be above the law. As an American, I find this idea offensive, and downright wrong. The President is supposed to serve the country. Not himself. The office of President is supposed to be held by citizens! And no citizen, however powerful, is above the law. If we allow Mr. Trump to get his nominee into the Supreme Court, it could very probably destroy our country.
We must stand against the man trying to stylize himself into an autocrat. It is now or never. Please, stand with me. Please stand with America
