John, Trump appointed his own lawyer - Pam Bondi - as our country’s attorney general.

So it should come as no surprise: she’s turned the Department of Justice into Trump’s personal attack dog.

In less than a year, she…

• Sued eight states for private voter data files to substantiate illegitimate claims about our elections being stolen. Desperately tried to prove Trump’s conspiracy theories about our elections, trying to seize private voter data and suing eight states when they refused. [1]

• Did a total 180 on the Epstein files, going from saying the client list was on her desk to denying its existence – not behavior you’d consider from a trustworthy government. [2]

• Targeted activist Mahmoud Khalil and other peaceful student protestors, even going as far as ordering for Khalil’s deportation for disagreeing with this administration. [3]

When the people who are supposed to impartially enforce our laws are instead just doing one man’s bidding, no matter what’s right or wrong, we lose faith in our government.

And as long as Congress thinks that they can remain asleep at the wheel – and refuse to lift a finger to stop Trump’s abuses of power – Pam Bondi will continue to use the DOJ to do Trump’s bidding.

That’s where you come in, John. Common Cause is in the midst of our largest-ever non-election year mobilization – the People’s Promise – where we’re using every tool in our toolkit to make sure our democracy can’t be taken away from us under cover of darkness.

We’re litigating… like our Nebraska lawsuit that stopped the state from complying with Trump and Bondi’s invasion of voters’ privacy.  

We’re showing up in Congress… driving thousands of calls just this week to demand that our elected lawmakers hold firm for our healthcare and our rights.

And we’re organizing… holding rallies, petition deliveries, and lobby days in states across the country plus D.C. to guarantee those in power can’t ignore us one day longer.

John, when our so-called “leaders” fail, Common Cause won’t. With your help, we’ll serve as the people-powered advocate our country sorely needs right now. Can you chip in to help make it possible?
