We do not consent to government corruption being treated as normal.
We do not consent to public office becoming a pathway to personal wealth, political power, influence, or protection from accountability.
We do not consent to politicians answering more faithfully to donors, corporations, lobbyists, foreign interests, political parties, or bureaucratic institutions than to the people they were elected to represent.
Public office is a trust.
Power is a responsibility.
Leadership requires responsibility, reliability, and accountability.
When those entrusted with authority violate that trust, the answer cannot be more excuses.
There must be consequences.
If you stand with these words, share them!
