Your state attorney general and your county district attorney

Who you are contacting: your state attorney general and your county district attorney. Find your attorney general at naag.org/find-my-ag, and find your district attorney by searching your county’s name plus “district attorney” or “prosecuting attorney,” since the title changes by state.

What you are asking for: In this moment of national crisis, we need to know that our law enforcement professionals will defend their oath to protect the Constitution, and that no one is above the law. If a sitting US president broke the law in our state, would you enforce the law on them like any other American? These two offices enforce state criminal law, which no president can pardon, and no justice in Trump v. United States argued that ruling reaches state prosecution. They already have the authority. What nobody has made them say out loud is whether they will use it.

Do not copy and paste anything from this article. Offices count identical messages once no matter how many arrive. Write it in your own words.

Say who you are and where you live in their jurisdiction. Say why this matters to you personally, in whatever terms are actually true for you. Then ask them the question, and tell them this: if you waste my time by answering everything but this question, then know that I won’t be fooled and I will be letting my fellow constituents know about your failure and obfuscation.

When you get a reply, share it online so your fellow constituents can know exactly who needs to be replaced come election season.

Send this article to somebody. Post it in your Indivisible chapter, put it in a group thread, or hand it to a friend who mistakenly believes that the Robert’s court made a president above the law. If the Supreme Court ever did rule a president beyond the reach of state criminal law, that ruling would be unconstitutional the day it was written, and our job would be to elect attorneys general and district attorneys who refuse to treat it as binding.
