Article I, Section 5, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution gives members of the House and Senate the ability to refuse to seat a member-elect.

House Manual, Section 202 and Senate Standing Rule II detail the official process for preventing insurgents like the DSA from taking office.

On November 3, the DSA won more than 86 elections nationwide, including mayor of America’s second-largest city, seven seats in the House, one in the Senate, and even taking over city school boards.

And they aren't bothering to hide their nation-destroying intentions. 

“With political power in hand,” DSA leader Luke Pickrell says, the Democratic Socialists of America, and specifically the DSA’s “Marxist Unity Group” causes, are actively working to “scrap the Constitution.”

The DSA’s national co-chair, Megan Romer, recently bragged that the group has mounted a successful “guerrilla insurgency” to take over and abolish the Constitution, prisons, the police, private ownership, the Supreme Court, the presidency, the U.S. Senate, and the entire system of American government.

The political gains the DSA made in the November 3 election show that Romer is right. They have mounted a successful guerrilla insurgency. And if we don’t stop them now, the America we know and love will not exist in just a few short years.

We must put as much pressure as possible on Congress to exercise House Manual, Section 202, and Senate Standing Rule II to refuse to seat DSA members on January 3, 2027.

Give Congress the backbone they need to fight the DSA’s guerrilla insurgency — fax Congress now!

One last thing:

I am especially concerned about the DSA takeover of school boards and city offices. The implementation of their insane anti-Christian, anti-constitutional program in local cities across the nation will tremendously increase our legal work. We are already gearing up for several legal fights.

Help us fight for the Constitution and defend the Gospel by supporting our legal fund today. Every donation will be doubled by the Defend the Gospel Challenge Grant.
