As a concerned citizen, I have suffered a growing sense of despair watching my nation undergo a constitutional crisis since Donald Trump began his second term. His flurry of executive orders and actions that break both the law and the United States Constitution have drastically changed our lives. Throughout these events, one figure has remained conspicuously silent: Senator Pete Ricketts.

Despite the ongoing upheaval, Senator Ricketts has neglected to condemn or rally against the constitutional infractions occurring under our country's current leadership. This silence reflects a failure to uphold his oath of office to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States." His refusal to act in our nation's best interests is a neglect of his duties and responsibilities as a public servant and a representative of the people.

Every lawmaker swears an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. An oath that, sadly, seems overlooked by Senator Ricketts, despite its being the linchpin of his role. By not vocally opposing or assisting in blocking these executive transgressions, he sends a clear message of his disregard for institutional integrity and public trust.

When our elected representatives fail to live up to their solemn responsibilities, it is incumbent on us—the people—to voice our dissatisfaction and take steps to ensure the strength and survival of our democracy. This petition is a first step—a call to action—to impeach Senator Pete Ricketts for not meeting his constitutional responsibilities and for not responding adequately to the ongoing constitutional crisis.

I urge you to sign this petition, not only to demand accountability from Senator Ricketts but also to make a clear statement about the values and principles we, as a nation, refuse to compromise on. Protecting the U.S Constitution, the core of our democracy, should not be partisan. It should be the bare requirement for holding public office. Together, let's make it so. Sign the petition to impeach Senator Pete Ricketts today.
