Fine politicians who incite violence

The Issue

An ICU nurse and a mother lost their lives needlessly after being influenced by dangerous political rhetoric. This tragedy unfolded because social media algorithms and mainstream media amplified personal opinions as facts, and recklessly, members of Congress and celebrities encouraged average American citizens to engage in futile and fatal confrontations with armed federal agents, instead of urging them to demand changes from Congress, the very institution that holds the power to amend immigration laws.

In recent times, we have witnessed the devastating impact that irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric from political leaders can have on society. It is disheartening to see figures in positions of power, who are supposed to guide and protect the public, instead promote unrest and violence. This is not leadership. This is negligence. And it is high time that such actions bear consequences.

We propose the introduction of fines, aptly named the "Pretti Good" fine, directed at any member of Congress or political office holder who condones or incites violence. The gravity of their positions necessitates accountability, and a substantial fine of no less than 1 million dollars should be imposed as a deterrent to prevent politicians from indulging in such reckless behavior.

Our leaders must embody the principles of peace and responsibility. They must rise above inflammatory rhetoric and choose wisdom over war. It is imperative that we hold these leaders accountable for not just their actions, but also their words.

Join us in demanding this fundamental change. By signing this petition, you are advocating for accountability, responsible leadership, and the preservation of life over rhetoric. Let us unite to ensure our leaders lead with integrity and empathy, not incitement. It is time to impose the "Pretti Good" fine and restore faith in our political system.

**All Fine Money would go to fund immigration reform.**
