Dear MoveOn member,
On Wednesday, every House Republican voted to formally begin the process to impeach President Biden in an unfounded, cynical political move devoid of evidence or cause.1 This illegitimate impeachment inquiry is the ultimate political stunt designed to discredit President Biden and reelect Donald Trump.
Republican Representative Troy Nehls even said it himself when asked what he's hoping to gain from an impeachment inquiry: "All I can say is Donald J. Trump 2024, baby."2
Impeaching President Biden is part of the GOP’s insidious strategy to distract voters from their own failing party, vilify Biden, and pave the way for Trump to reenter the White House in 2024.
And if this calculated strategy sounds petty, it’s because it is. Extreme MAGA Republicans are pushing this sham impeachment to get revenge for Trump’s impeachment after the whole world watched as he directed the January 6 insurrection from the sidelines.3 Now, the rest of the House Republicans are going along with it. Enough.
Add your name to the petition to tell the House GOP drop this sham impeachment NOW!
The GOP continues to put their power, party, and corporate interests over us. They’ve wasted time and our taxpayer dollars on their bogus investigation and a year later have absolutely nothing to show for it. They are more focused on Trump's bidding to take down President Biden than enacting real change to make the country a better place and improve the lives of everyday Americans.
And House Republicans have admitted that there is “no evidence” that Biden committed any wrongdoings following their investigation, yet every single one of them still voted to begin the process to impeach him.4 It's wrong, but not surprising. This is why we have to come together to stop them.
The House GOP is not even trying to hide what their real intentions are. Moving this impeachment inquiry despite no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden has proven that the GOP will stop at nothing to discredit Biden and get Trump back in the White House.5 With a crucial election year ahead and our rights and freedoms under attack time and time again, it’s up to us to push back and say enough is enough.
There is power in our numbers. We must do everything we can to stop these attacks and protect our democracy.
Sign the petition now, and share with three friends.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Book bans have skyrocketed thanks to right-wing state laws which have forced teachers to remove books from their classrooms. In response, MoveOn is launching a "Banned Bookmobile," filling it with books that the far right has banned, and driving it around to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will attract media attention. To keep the Banned Bookmobile up and running into 2024, we need your help.
