BIG: On the Daily Show, Jon Stewart drew attention to John Oliver's offer to give Clarence Thomas $1 million a year and a new $2.4 million motor coach (similar to a gift given by a billionaire) to resign within 30 days.
This came after John Oliver meticulously – and hilariously – connected the dots between expensive gifts from right-wing billionaires to Supreme Court Justices and the illegitimate decisions Clarence Thomas and others have made.
Now, scores of PCCC members have joined Oliver -- adding an additional $1.7 million in "pledges" as we work to keep the pressure on Thomas and this right-wing Court FOR WEEKS! Here's how:
(To be clear, joining Oliver’s pledge is more about advancing this media narrative than actually giving money to Clarence Thomas.)
Here’s why this matters. Oliver’s amazing video could be out of the news cycle within a day or so if we do nothing. But we’ll update the media on the ever-growing number of Americans joining his call – and the amount they are pledging – for Clarence Thomas to retire. This will increase the buzz and news surrounding Oliver’s amazing video calling out Court corruption.
As Oliver said, the Court has more society-changing cases on the docket this year. And the American people's confidence in our democracy itself has already been shaken by this Court’s political rulings that consistently go against the will of the people — such as striking down abortion rights, voting rights protections, common-sense state and local gun regulations, and federal efforts to combat climate change.
Take action to keep this issue in the news! And then please forward this email to others!
Thanks for helping to hold this corrupt Supreme Court accountable.
