Text SIGN PKWFUK to 50409 — The President of the United States is deploying our troops against American citizens. He has activated the National Guard and is threatening to send in the U.S. Marines to stop protests against his policies – protests which even local law enforcement described as largely peaceful. Now our men and women in uniform are shooting tear gas and rubber bullets at people who are exercising their fundamental rights as protected by the First Amendment. This is the stuff of tinpot dictatorships. One of the crucial protections that has kept America free and democratic has been our insistence that the military never be used as a political weapon against our own. That safeguard is being destroyed. It’s an affront to our most sacred values, and it’s dangerous as hell. You need to condemn this in clear and unambiguous terms. And you need to treat this as the emergency for our nation that it is. Use whatever legislative or political tools you have available to take concrete and meaningful action. If you accept this as business as usual, that’s what it will become.
