Investigate Trump's Cash-for-Clemency Pardon Racket

226 so far! Let’s get to 250 signers!

You need to act on the Judiciary Democrats' report exposing Trump's pardon system as a pay-to-play operation for wealthy criminals. This isn't a constitutional gray area — it's a marketplace where donors buy their way out of court-ordered restitution while their victims get nothing. The numbers are staggering. Trevor Milton donated $1.8 million to Trump-aligned committees and walked away from nearly $700 million in fraud obligations. Paul Walczak's mother attended a $1-million-a-plate Mar-a-Lago dinner, and weeks later her son escaped $4.5 million in stolen payroll taxes that fund Medicare and Social Security. Jason Galanis stole millions from the Oglala Sioux Nation and union pension funds, then avoided $84 million in restitution after serving as a Republican impeachment witness. These aren't edge cases — Reuters identified 290 influencers involved in 197 clemency grants. House Republicans claim to be fighting fraud while defending the most brazen fraud protection racket in modern presidential history. Push for a full congressional investigation, support legislation to restore DOJ oversight of the pardon process, and make sure your constituents know exactly who is being protected — and who is being left behind.
