John,

As you know, this Wednesday we witnessed a violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol just as members of Congress were fulfilling our constitutional duty to certify the Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election. A mob broke into the Capitol, breaking through doors and windows, and ransacked the legislative offices and chambers of Congress. During the melee, a number of law enforcement officials were injured, and five people — including a Capitol Police officer — have died.

It will be remembered as one of the darkest days in American history.

What’s worse is that this unconscionable act of sedition and insurrection was incited by the President of the United States, who encouraged this siege on our democracy during his divisive speech on the National Mall and his dangerous tweets in the weeks leading up to January 6th. It is Trump’s worst offense against our country and Constitution to date.

Not only should Trump be held accountable for his repeated violations of the rule of law and our democratic norms, but he must be stopped from sowing further chaos and causing more harm. Every effort must be made to remove him as soon as possible.

To protect our country, President Trump must leave office, immediately. But doing so would require a devotion to country and sense of decency that this president has never before displayed. In failing to resign, Trump should be removed from his presidential duties by the Vice President and Cabinet through the 25th Amendment. But that would require a courageous and patriotic act of the Vice President, and qualities that he has never displayed.

So Congress should immediately begin impeachment proceedings.

President Trump has shown nothing but disdain for the Constitution, the separation of powers, our democracy, and the rule of law — and his actions have put our country at grave risk. Every day he remains in office puts the country in further jeopardy. That’s why it’s imperative that Congress use the tools at its disposal to quickly remove Trump from office before he can do further damage.

If you agree, please add your name alongside mine to call for Trump to be removed from office as soon as possible. [[link removed]]

We must do everything in our power to ensure Trump cannot drag our country down with him any further in his final days in office.

We must act.

Thank you,

Adam
