Kick Confederates out of the Capitol









Dear friend,

I just started a petition titled "Take Em ALL Down! No 

Following the acts of white supremacist terrorism in 
Charlottesville, congressional leaders on both sides of 
the aisle made statements condemning the violence. 
Paul Ryan wrote, "The views fueling the spectacle in 
Charlottesville are repugnant. Let it only serve to unite 
Americans against this kind of vile bigotry," and Ted Cruz 
wrote in a statement "...white supremacists are repulsive 
and evil, and all of us have a moral obligation to speak out 
against the lies, bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred that they 
propagate."




These words ring hollow when Confederate leaders are 
enshrined with honor in the statuary hall at the US Capitol. 
Men who committed treason against the United States to 
keep Black people enslaved should not be in the most 
hallowed halls of government. Each of these statues were 
installed despite the obvious betrayal of these Confederates 
against America in response to the recognition of the 
humanity of Black Americans. These statues in the capitol 
are there to project the power of white supremacy directly 
from the states' Capitol. These statues Join us and tell 
members of Congress to remove the Confederates from the 
Capitol.




Thousands of white supremacist gather across the country and 
commits violent acts of terror and intimidation in the name of 
these Confederate symbols. These people have been 
emboldened by Trump who continues to promote racism and 
signal his approval to white supremacists. While Trump has 
inflamed these white supremacists, the statues honoring 
Confederates in the halls of the United States Congress are
proof that white nationalism has long needed to be 
confronted in America.




Together we can help kick the Confederates out of the 
Capitol and send a strong message to white nationalists 
and Trump. After the terrorism of Charlottesville we 
can no longer silently allow the Confederacy and its 
cause to keep Black Americans enslaved to be honored 
in the halls of Congress.





Thank you,




Rachael Payton
