John,
As we speak, the current administration is attempting to cover up the fact
that Donald Trump tried to use the Presidency to coerce a foreign power to
intervene in the 2020 election. And Democrats are still dragging their
feet on impeachment.
After a whistleblower was brave enough to come forward, the Trump
Administration went into full damage control mode. They denied that Trump
had said anything untoward, and that the call didn’t mention any of his
opponents. In their story, the whistleblower was just another partisan.
Then, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump’s statement was a
complete lie — that actually, in his call with the Ukrainian President, he
pressured the foreign leader into working with his personal lawyer to
investigate a Democratic candidate not once, not twice, but eight separate
times.
Why should we expect anything different? If Trump faces no consequences
for his lawless conduct, he’ll continue it — because he knows that as long
as Democratic lawmakers refuse to act, he’ll get away free. Because right
now, Donald Trump is above the law.

Alexandria, Rashida, Ilhan, and Ayanna — instead of ones who will stand by
as our democracy crumbles around us. Will you donate

cowardice over courage?

The United States is currently in the process of negotiating financial
support for Ukraine, and that was supposed to be a major topic of
discussion on Trump’s call.
Let’s be clear here: conflating an investigation of a Democratic candidate
for President, personally asking a foreign leader to work with your own
attorney, and then pivoting to a discussion on a massive financial aid
package for a nation is extortion and bribery. The obvious implication is
that Trump will be more likely to cough up financial aid if the Ukrainian
president does what he says.
This is just the beginning. We’re still over a year away from the 2020
election — and if Trump is not only willing to wield the oval office to
skew an election, but is also surrounded by people in his administration
that will lie to cover for him, we’re facing an existential crisis of
democracy.
[ [link removed] ]Justice Democrats in Congress are already fighting to alter this
course, and save our democracy. But they need more allies to stop these
crises before they happen, and set real precedents about corruption. Will

Just imagine for a moment — if our Congress refuses to act, and Trump
steals yet another election, what will our democracy look like? After 8
years of corporate lobbyists being handed executive office, of slashed
environmental regulations, of raiding our social safety net to pay off
millionaires and billionaires?
We can’t let it happen. It’s time to impeach.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
