Certification Letter 1

U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Representative,

‬Today marks 147 days from when you will once again partake in the final step of counting and‬ validating the electoral votes based on the American people’s votes for a presidential election,‬ paving the way for the peaceful transition of power.‬ 

Every four years, throughout our country’s history, Congress has fulfilled this time-honored‬ tradition; however, on January 6, 2021, we saw what happens when elected officials such as‭ yourself do not carry through with their constitutional duty. You were one of 147 members of‬ Congress who decided to put their allegiance to the Constitution second to partisan loyalty,‬ refused to certify a free and fair election, voted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential‬ election, and attempted to silence the votes and voices of the American people.‬

‭Your actions that day threatened the sanctity and security of our democracy.‬‭ That’s why we – the People’s Council, proud Americans from across the country including veterans,‬ educators, faith leaders, and community leaders – are calling on you to fulfill your‬ constitutional responsibility to the American people by committing to a peaceful‬ certification of the upcoming presidential election.‬ Despite the unfathomable events that took place during Congress’ last certification process, you‬ and other extremists have doubled down on what led to the horrific violence that day, continuing‬ to promote the Big Lie and instill doubts on the legitimacy of our democratic institutions and‬ election system. Far-right organizations and individuals have already declared the election‬ illegitimate, before any votes have been cast.‬
‭ 
We created the People’s Council to ensure that the People’s House represents and serves all‬ Americans. Nothing is more fundamental than protecting and defending our democracy and the‬ freedom to vote. To that end,‬‭ the American people‬‭ are counting on you to peacefully certify‬ this year’s election results, 147 days from now, while condemning political violence,‬ extremism, and the Big Lie.‬‭ The future of our democracy‬‭ depends on it.‬
‭
Sincerely,

Sergeant Aquilino Gonell
