Courage to Resist has been encouraging supporters to take President Trump at his word to stage a post election coup. If we don’t prepare for that possibility, we’re stuck in a “will he, can he?” guessing game. Not only do we need the troops to refuse illegal orders, today we’ve formally asking military leadership to do so also. Please sign the petition today.
To: Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and the Joint Chiefs of Staff
“You have a legal, constitutional, and moral responsibility to refuse to comply with any and all attempts by President Trump to interfere with the 2020 presidential election.”
Courage to Resist is promoting this petition in collaboration with RootsAction, Veterans For Peace, World Beyond War, and other organizations.
“Courage to Resist puts the slogan of “support the troops but not the war” into practice every day. Their work to publicize and support the courage of GI resisters is an essential component of stopping the war machine.”
Thanks for that great petition. It’s time the military stopped letting Trump misuse it.
How sick is this please.
A petition to refuse illegal orders whilst the election?
Seriously, illegal orders should be refused ALWAYS, all the time, now, past and in the future…. Illegal? Get it?
