Pennsylvania House
Co-Sponsorship Memoranda - Democracy is a fragile thing, and we must do
everything in our power to protect it for ourselves and our posterity. In the recent past, our democracy was threatened
by a group of armed individuals. It
continues to be threatened by individuals who share misinformation and create
distrust, fear, and ignorance within our communities. Some individuals spread deceit and encourage
upheaval while holding elected office.
Sedition should have no place in Pennsylvania, nor should public
servants be permitted to continue in their elected office if they commit
sedition against our nation.
For these reasons, we plan to
introduce two pieces of legislation seeking to eliminate sedition in our great
state and ensure that our elected officials are held accountable for actions
they take against our democracy.
