Dear Joseph R. Biden

Joseph R. Biden
46th President of the United States

Subject: Request for a Presidential “No Pass/No Trespass Domestic Terrorist Watchlist”. With an intent as a deterrent which would deny individuals that participated in the “January 6th Domestic Terrorist Attack on the U.S. Capitol”, including members of Congress, access denied for any reason business or pleasure within the confines of the Capitol.

First and foremost, it is overwhelmingly inspiring that “We the People” have before us once again a genuine and honorable Commander-in-Chief, an Irish Patriot we can TRUST! I sleep well at night, after 4-years of insomnia thinking there was an unauthorized fire sale at the White House, so Thank You for such Patriotism during such trying times.

I am corresponding with you this day in efforts to request that you seriously consider what I believe in theory(legally) and in practice(achievable) is a viable means in the “alternative” to hold members of the U.S. Congress, those that were knowingly involved in the January 6th “Domestic Terrorist Attack” on the U.S. Capitol, accountable for their action and or inaction that which resulted in a deadly “coup d’scar”. Not to forget, this “Domestic Terrorist Attack” was orchestrated upon a place wherein “We the People” had for a long time honored as a place of worship with respect to Democracy, “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”. This “alternative” remedy in accountability finds merit due the fact that the House of Congress, through its “January 6th Select Committee”, cannot or will not subpoena members of the 117th Congress - in efforts to ring-out information from members that bear a responsibility through involvement in that “coup”. Such involvement through participation in either the planning stages before January 6th or other demands that supported the roll-out of this siege on the Capitol. This “preferential treatment”, that which fundamentally denies information access gathering through a “subpoena” designed to compel, it is in light of the fact Mr. Bennie Thompson - as appointed Chairman of that “Select Committee” - he is adamant that in his position there exists an inherent “must protect the institute” attitude above all, so we may never get to the bottom of how sitting members of Congress became engaged in the planning and roll-out of that “coup”. One that turned “deadly”, wherein I and many others find no excuse fathomable that members of Congress find such protection against being compelled to answer through a valid subpoenaed! And without any accountability such treatment a few get to enjoy, today confronted by the fact this “respect the institute” exists by the very same “Committee” that was deployed to leave no stone unturned, it is like a balk in not allowing Congress to subpoena its own members, regardless of what may have occurred on that dreaded day of January 6th. It is an omission with dire consequences.

And we must take to heart with seriousness what the Honorable Judge David Carter has offered as a sidebar in a disposition of a case before his court, that which yields the gavel of indictment for non-Congressional members that were drawn to the attention of that January 6th “coup” and willingly participated, now facing detention and no different then what members of Congress are getting away with by not being subject to the compelling power of a subpoena. In efforts to answer to that participation in evidence that helps us understand how deeply driven was this “coup”! As stated in court filings, Judge Carter is on the record: “More than a year after the attack on our Capitol, the public is still searching for accountability. This case cannot provide it. At most, this case is a warning about the dangers of ‘legal theories’ gone wrong. If the country does not commit to investigating and pursuing accountability for those responsible, the Court fears January 6 will repeat itself.” So this “must respect the institute” is like condoning a member’s acceptance in participating in that “coup” without any repercussion, possibly the reason for the Judge’s concern of a “repeat” if we allow such preferential treatment with members of Congress. And the fact that Judge Carter insisted frustration in the fact the time transpired since that “coup” and what has been accomplished so far to hold those responsible for the planning and roll-out so-far no accountability, including many members of Congress and Donald Trump’s top achievers in the subject area of a “coup”, that may be a pointed finger at the “Select Committee” itself. Due the fact it has balked on this “subpoena” justification, as if the “Select” is being used as a selective privilege to dishonor the “Committee’s” very own wherewithal, that which allows for the “Committee” to issue subpoenas through its very own rules - even so it wants to make believe that members of Congress are exempt from answering for their actions. It sucks the sail out of Democracy if this be the case, so an “alternative” is needed, herein I hope to get the point across what you as the sitting President can accomplish - as a needed response and a legacy that will be like a forever stamp of approval you mean “business” not as usual! As if all “We the People” get out of the “Committee”, after already spending over $2-million dollars of the Taxpayers hard earned income taxed, if it means nothing except a stage presence 10-minutes claim to TV fame for the “Committee” when the baseball season is here and of a higher degree of interest, forget about wasting time on things we already know about especially when there is no one being held accountable! Well in my book that was handed to me by my Founding Father, that is not fine said and done, as it falls short of that “accountability” in merit, especially for “guilty by involvement” members of Congress that may see it as a way of getting away with “Murder Most Foul”.

So I am proposing as an “alternative”, that as the U.S. President with “Sanction” power you consider the advancing of a “No Pass/No Trespass Domestic Terrorist Watchlist”. That which would deny members of Congress that are found guilty of involvement and or participation any aspect of that “coup”, that they be banned from ever again entering the U.S. Capitol - the scene of the “crime”. Members found guilty by association any participation in that “coup”, such members enrolled on a “watchlist”, like we see has been so successful with the “No Fly Terrorist Watchlist”. In sanction capability, a ways and means designed to protect the infrastructure through a “No Pass” banning, which is in your domain and purview as POTUS and Commander-in-Chief.  No doubt as the sitting U.S. President you yield a more powerful gavel, in issuing of “sanctions” against individuals wherein such can be granted for a reason in consideration a deterrent, in the non-monetary, as a probationary restraint in punishment. As one expert in this matter is quoted: “Simply, sanctions allow a US president to exercise power unilaterally and often expeditiously”.

So with a simple mandate akin to the “No Fly Terrorist Watchlist”, how about instituting a “No Pass/No Trespass Domestic Terrorist Watchlist” and starting off with members of Congress, wherein we will find both members of the House & Senate that should be “watch-listed”, and thus denied access to the U.S. Capitol. That would indeed get the point across, for today and for tomorrow in a “beware”, upon what you may want to do as a sitting member of the U.S. Congress. It would become your legacy, to have this activated and thus denying members guilty banned from setting foot in the U.S. Capitol. Said again, it was a “crime” scene, it requires sanctioning away those that went involved. Yes, a legitimate ban even for purposes of performing their duties as members of Congress. So please take this under serious consideration as a ways and means that will hold those members accountable and at the same time maintains the “protect the institute” for those members that do not engage in such “coup” like activity. And with  this “alternative”, there is no need for a subpoena, just evidence that is now in the “public spectrum” that finds members associating themselves with that January 6th “Coup”, or as it is titled in House Resolution #503; “Domestic Terrorist Attack on the U.S. Capitol”, it is serious to be honored with such a heading! And anybody that is guilty of participation in inciting such a “coup” while a member of Congress, they should understand that denial from the Capitol also denies a member’s constituency interests to be represented, as with no freedom to trespass the Halls of Congress, even if for a roll call requiring a vote for legislation, sorry “No Entry” so be it! And then when that constituency base understands it is “Taxation without Representation”, the voters will then realize what it means for members of Congress to become engaged in a “coup” that turned deadly and that will have a direct influence at the voting booths, especially if an incumbent is so banned from participating in legislation because they participated in a “coup”!

Thank You for hearing me out upon this most critical matter, as “We the People” need more then “public hearings” by a Select Committee for justification on who we are as a Republic governed by a Democracy, we need action and must activate an “alternative” method to quench this from ever happening again. Without such a measure, that which would ban guilty members of Congress from entering the U.S. Capitol, then it will happen again as if they get away with it once, it will be precedence-set that they can get away with it again. The Halls of Congress will never be the same, unless we can prove that there exists consequences for unethical behaviors.

To end, it worked when the United States instituted the “No Fly Terrorist Watchlist” and has been very successful at keeping us safe in the skies. It will work the same way in keeping our “House” safe, the United States Capitol, if you see fit that this idea of a ”No Pass/No Trespass Domestic Terrorist Watchlist” has merit in protecting DEMOCRACY. As we must hold members of Congress accountable, else we have a system of merit that chastises Democracy.

To begin with, may I suggest the following members be listed on the “No Pass/No Trespass Domestic Terrorist Watchlist” and banned from entering the U.S. Capitol: Senator Ted Cruz and Representatives Scott Perry, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Soylent Greene, Paul Gosar, Lauren Boebert, Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, Louie Gohmert, Jim Jordan, Debbie Lesko and Jody Hice.

As an added advantage, this may act as a self-serving treatise in justice, as any member that is guilty of participating and facing the music he or she is denied access to the very place wherein the business of the House and Senate revolves, more then likely the guilty would resign, as they could not perform their duties. They could never get sworn in when Congress re-convenes, it is the ultimate in how we can hold members of Congress accountable for a dereliction in the conviction to uphold the merits of the Congress’ Home, the U.S. Capitol.
