TEMPLATE LETTERS

The following are model letters/emails that you are free to copy and use to send to your federal and state legislators.

The templates urge elected officials to act under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to amend the Constitution. Specifically, the letters call for a constitutional amendment that would overturn the deeply troubling July 1, 2024 U.S. Supreme Court decision that granted the U.S. president immunity from criminal laws for “official acts".

LETTER/EMAIL TO FEDERAL LEGISLATOR (your U.S. Congressional Representative or your two U.S. Senators - some may require you to send in via a website form)

Dear Congressperson - 

After the profoundly destructive U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity on July 1, 2024, I ask that you push the U.S. Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment should expressly overturn the Supreme Court majority’s ruling on presidential immunity so we can make dead clear that the U.S. President is not immune from criminal law.

That no person is above the law is such a fundamental principle of the American project, I cannot believe I have to write this email and make this request.

Please proceed with all of your power. Even if it does not happen soon enough, I hope you will be a champion of the rule of law and send up this unmistakable signal flare. 

Respectfully,

Who are my U.S. federal representatives? Find out here

Letter/Email to State Representative (State Assemblymember or State Senator)

Dear Representative -  

After the profoundly destructive U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity on July 1, 2024, I ask that you set wheels in motion at the state level and have our state make an Application under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a Convention for proposing an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment at the convention should be designed to overturn the immunity ruling so we can make dead clear that the US President is not immune from criminal law.

That no person is above the law is such a fundamental principle of the American project, I cannot believe I have to write this email and make this request.

Please proceed with all of your power. Even if it does not happen soon enough, even if there are not enough legislatures to join in, I hope you will be a champion of the rule of law and send up this unmistakable signal flare. 

Respectfully,
