Open Letter to President Bush: Save Democracy

I have written the letter below to former President Bush at info@georgewbushlibrary.com.

Please feel free to copy or adapt to send to President Bush or any other former Republican with any power who you think might be willing to act.

=========================

Dear President Bush,

I am writing to you to ask you to take action to preserve democracy in the United States.

As a Republican former president, you are uniquely positioned to reach out to current Republican leadership, including President Trump and Senators McConnell and Graham, and urge them to pay heed to the results of the election, concede the loss to President-Elect Biden, and allow the transition of power to proceed smoothly.

I also urge you to talk with more moderate Republicans in the Senate with the goal of persuading them to vote out Senate Majority Leader McConnell and replace him with someone whose only goal is not to obstruct any actions of government coming from the House or the President.

Thank you for considering this request.

Heide Estes
