  • unequivocally acknowledge that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and work to protect our electoral process from future foreign interference;
  • refuse any offer to form a cybersecurity unit with the Russian government to protect the United States from election hacking;
  • respect the independence of our nation's judicial branch;
  • respect Members of Congress and refrain from using derogatory nicknames for them; and
