BRIEF OF RETIRED FOUR-STAR ADMIRALS AND GENERALS

 Here is the document.


BRIEF OF RETIRED FOUR-STAR ADMIRALS AND GENERALS, AND FORMER SECRETARIES OF THE U.S. ARMY, NAVY, AND AIR FORCE AS AMICI CURIAE IN SUPPORT OF RESPONDENT


'STATEMENT OF INTEREST


' Amici are retired four-star admirals and generals, and former secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. They served under each President from John F. Kennedy to Donald J. Trump. Amici are deeply interested in this case because presidential immunity from criminal prosecution would threaten the military’s role in American society, our nation’s constitutional order, and our national security. It also would have profoundly negative effects on military service members, who answer to the orders of the President as Commander-in-Chief. This submission is based on amici’s collective experience serving in and leading our military, as well as their collective interest in safeguarding our national security. Amici’s short biographies listed below only begin to describe their distinguished service to our country.'

NAME AND SHAME All Election Threateners

 

Some threats directed at election workers are crimes, but regardless of criminality all threats serve to undermine our Democracy.


The Federal Government worries actively about threats to election officials and workers in all states and in all electons. 


Here are two links to their recommendations



1. Home Page: https://www.eac.gov/election-officials/election-official-security


2. Reporting theats:  

report to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324), prompt 1, then prompt 3, or online at tips.fbi.gov  [https://tips.fbi.gov/home ]  


BUT, I suggest an easier method to reduce the volume of threats I call NAME AND SHAME.


Post in social media or online every threat including any profanity together with person's name, phone number and/or email. When the threats are not made public those who want to threaten workers feel they are safe from any consequences of their threat. 


Your legal department may have some questions about the action; I am aware only of possible liability provided that the information posted is false or untrue. Posting truthful information probably is safe from liability.
