[ [link removed] ]Sign now: Demand House Republicans drop their nonsense impeachment
investigation into President Biden!
Dear MoveOn member,
"The dysfunction caucus at work," "clown show," "foolishness," "terribly
misguided," "failure to lead," "new low." These are some of the ways
congressional Republicans have described the actions of other members of
their own party over the past few weeks.^1 And they are absolutely right.
The federal government is about to run out of money, causing a shutdown,
which has the potential to cause deep financial pain for millions of
Americans.^2 And yesterday, instead of coming to the table to negotiate in
good faith to keep it open, House Republicans showed where their
priorities lie and held the first impeachment hearing against President
Biden.
Despite nine months of ongoing investigations into President Biden, even
their star witness Jonathan Turley, a Donald Trump loyalist and paid Fox
News contributor, couldn’t get on board with the hearing, saying, "I do
not believe that the current evidence would support articles of
impeachment."^3 A senior Republican aide called the first hearing "an
unmitigated disaster."^4
In order to distract from twice-impeached, four-times-indicted former
President Trump's criminal charges and their own failing party,
Republicans are pushing for Biden's impeachment—despite zero evidence or
proof of wrongdoing. Impeaching President Biden is part of the GOP's
insidious strategy to distract voters from the MAGA shutdown, vilify
Biden, and pave the way for Trump to take back the White House in 2024.
Trump has even been pushing his close allies to impeach Biden, directing
the entire charade from the sidelines.
We will not stand for it. [ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to demand Republicans in
Congress drop the baseless Biden impeachment charade that's really a ploy
to help reelect Trump.
The GOP is trying to distract the American people and pave the way for
Trump's reelection. We see through them. Add your name to demand they drop
the sham impeachment and start prioritizing our real needs!

MAGA Republicans continue to ram through their bogus efforts to impeach
President Biden despite zero evidence of wrongdoing. Without the consent
of a full House vote, Speaker Kevin McCarthy directed three congressional
committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden.^5
Now, just two days before the government is going to shut down,
Representative James Comer, chairman of the Committee on Oversight and
Accountability, held his first hearing on the impeachment inquiry. Their
priorities couldn’t be further from everyday Americans' needs.
Monthslong Republican efforts to find any reason to impeach Biden have
been an "abject failure."^6 Because the dirt doesn't exist. But they're
not letting reality stop them from carrying on the charade, because
they'll do anything to grub for political power, no matter the cost to the
rest of us.
[ [link removed] ]So it's up to us to stop them and expose their efforts for what they
are: a politically motivated attempt to reelect Donald Trump. Will you add
your name to the petition to reject this sham impeachment process?
While some MAGA lawmakers see abusing the impeachment process as a way to
score points with Trump, Republicans who won narrowly in 2022 see this as
the thing that could cost them their jobs.^7 In the 1990s, the Republican
impeachment of Bill Clinton led to a backlash that cost them at the ballot
box. That's probably why McCarthy announced the inquiry without a full
floor vote—so he could avoid putting those Republicans who are in tight
reelection races on record supporting a made-up impeachment attempt.
[ [link removed] ]Add your name to show the overwhelming opposition to impeaching Biden
and stop this sham inquiry before it progresses to an impeachment vote.
Sign the petition and then share with three friends and family members!
Thanks for all you do.
