Indivisibles,
Thought you’d run out of things to be angry about? Think again: [ [link removed] ]Susan
Collins just announced on the Senate floor that she’s planning to vote to
acquit Trump on both articles of impeachment. Her reasoning? "I believe
that the president has learned from this case...the president has been
impeached. That's a pretty big lesson.” 🙄
Let’s say it again: Collins cast a vote in favor of hearing from witnesses
only once she was assured that McConnell had the votes to pass it without
her (thanks to Lisa Murkowski and Lamar Alexander's pledges). As far as
we're concerned, she gets zero points for casting a meaningless vote to
try to save her seat.
Now we’ve got proof: when it really counts, she’s voting the party line
that Trump is innocent -- without hearing from those witnesses she claimed
to want to hear, or reviewing any of the boatload of new evidence that has
come out since the House inquiry.
That’s Republican hypocrisy at its finest, and it’s exactly what we mean
when we say we’re tired of the GOP hijacking our democracy. All they’re
interested in is protecting Trump and protecting themselves. It’s time to
vote them out and take back the Senate.
That’s why we started the Payback Project: we can’t leave our democracy to
them anymore. It’s time to take back the power and put it in the hands of
the people: and that means volunteer recruitment, organizing, advertising,
getting out the vote, and much more. And all of that work to take back the
Senate costs money, which is why we’re asking you: [ [link removed] ]please, donate $10
to take back the Senate, support the Payback Project and all our work, and
show Susan Collins we won’t stand for her hypocrisy.
This sham impeachment “trial” is just the latest in a string of
anti-democratic nonsense from Republicans in the Senate. It’s time to vote
them out.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
