Hi John, Happy Thanksgiving!

To celebrate Thanksgiving, here are five things we’re thankful for today (believe me, we could make the list a lot longer!):

1. Donald Trump was indicted four times – and the judge in our lawsuit in Colorado ruled last week that he incited an insurrection. This year, Donald Trump was charged with more than 90 crimes in four criminal cases in less than five months. And while we’re proud to have brought the lawsuit that led to Trump being rightfully held responsible for inciting the January 6th insurrection, we’re keeping the lawsuit going to ensure that he is also kept off the ballot.
2. Michigan became the first state to hold fake electors accountable for their conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. This July, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced criminal charges against the 16 individuals who served as fake electors in Michigan. While the fake electors in Michigan may be the first charged for the scheme, we’re hopeful they won’t be the last.
3. Maine became the 10th state to ban donations from foreign governments for state and local ballot measures. A loophole in federal election law bans foreign entities from spending on candidate elections, yet allows donations for local and state ballot measures. This was a major win for our efforts to get big money out of politics, and we hope other states follow suit.
4. The Supreme Court announced a new ethics code. No, it’s not perfect, but it’s certainly a step forward, and it wouldn’t have happened without pressure from CREW and you. Scandal after scandal from Justices Thomas and Alito, among others, have proven that ethics reform is essential. We’ll continue to fight for the kind of reform on our highest court that is necessary for the American people to regain trust in our judicial system.
5. YOU! This year would not have been this successful without you and the hundreds of thousands of supporters who have donated to CREW and cheered on our work.
