Tell the Trump prosecutorsChristians support the Trump indictments

Posted: Aug. 17, 2023

This has become a stunning era that our children and grandchildren will ask us about: An ex-president now faces trial in four separate credible criminal cases, indicted by multiple grand juries made up of everyday Americans. Co-conspirators also face charges.

Though this is a grave chapter in our history, these 91 credible charges are necessary to preserve democracy. No one is above the law, and Donald Trump and his associates must be tried like any other citizens.

Each indictment defends a different aspect of our democracy: Election results, civic institutions, checks and balances, and campaign finance laws. Yet despite the Christian moral imperative to support democracy and justice, the religious right has predictably rushed to support Trump, come hell or high water:

Evangelist and conspiracy theorist Franklin Graham told Newsmax the January 6 indictment is "an attempt to... inflict enough political wounds." Televangelist Mike Huckabee also politicized the charges, calling them an "abuse of government power that we are used to seeing in third-world dictatorships." Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and TPUSA Faith founder Charlie Kirk have even blasphemously compared arresting Trump to arresting Jesus. The list goes on.

We can't let far-right Christian nationalism represent Christianity in America. Let's show the prosecutors indicting Trump that they have our support.

Sign the petition:

Dear Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis, Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr.,

Scripture says, "Let justice roll down like water and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."

As patriotic Americans and members of the Christian organization Faithful America -- and with that verse on our hearts -- we write to say thank you, and to offer our support of your indictments against Donald Trump and his co-conspirators.

We are deeply sorry to learn that each of you has been the subject of threats and slurs, many of them even perpetuated in the name of our religion. We reject those attacks on you and your offices, and instead express our gratitude to all three of you for leading thorough and impartial investigations, following the facts, defending democracy, and upholding the equal rule of law.

Like all citizens, Donald Trump is and should be presumed innocent until proven guilty on all 91 of the charges that you have brought, and given four fair trials before juries of his American peers. We trust each of you and your respective staffs to continue to see this process through with the same integrity, bravery, and wisdom that you have already shown.

Thank you.
