Urge President Biden to Preemptively Pardon those on Trump's "Enemies List"


Urge President Biden to Preemptively Pardon those on Trump's "Enemies List"
The Issue
Ever since President Trump declared a so-called 'enemy list', countless individuals have lived under the stress of fear and uncertainty. Fear of retribution and attacks on their reputations and livelihoods. This issue is personal. These are people who have been deemed enemies for nothing more than expressing opinions that differ from Trump's.
The United States, a nation built on the principles of freedom and democracy, is currently witnessing its own display an acerbic misuse of power. This 'enemy list' isn't just an indictment of these individuals- it's indicative of a larger problem undermining our democratic values.
The chilling effect this has had on public discourse and people participating in democratic discussion, cannot be overstated. Having a dissenting opinion in a democratic society should never lead to fear of retribution or punishment.
We are, therefore, asking President Biden to provide a safety net; a preemptive blanket pardon, to all those on this 'enemies list.' The precise number is unknown, but various reports suggest that it includes journalists, political adversaries, and more- upstanding citizens who've simply exercised their democratic right to free speech.
Extending these pardons is not just about protecting these individuals; it's a stand against the politicization of power in our great nation. It's about reinforcing our country’s democratic principles, and underlining our collective commitment towards defending them.
Sign this petition to urge President Biden to provide a pre-emptive pardon to all on Trump's 'enemy list', to solidify our stand against fear, and our commitment to freedom and democracy.
