John,
The lies of these 147 Republican members of Congress caused 6 Americans to
die.
[ [link removed] ][IMG]
Their lies helped fuel a deadly insurrection. They stood in Congress both
before and AFTER the deadly attack on the Capitol and spread lies of voter
fraud knowingly and without regard for our Democracy.
Some of these same Republicans denounced the violence, but would not call
it what it was: an insurrection, an attempted coup. They downplayed it as
deplorable, but nothing more than a protest that got out of control.
This is unacceptable.
Any member of Congress that cannot admit that what happened was an
insurrection is providing cover to those who wish to do our democratic
government harm. These Members of Congress continue to encourage more
violence with their excuses.
Members that continue to defend the violent terrorist attack that took
place in our nation’s capital must be held accountable and expelled from
office.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment states that "No person shall be a Senator
or Representative in Congress... or hold any office under the United
States or any State who... shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion
against [the Constitution]."
By invoking the 14th amendment, we can remove any Members of Congress that
provides aid and comfort to the enemies of America that attacked our
Capitol.

The campaign to expel any Member of Congress that will not denounce the
violent insurrection is growing.
In a letter to her caucus, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she will support a
discussion on invoking the 14th amendment and Democratic Senator Sherrod
Brown has called for Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to be expelled.

All 147 Republicans must be willing to condemn the violent insurrection
that took place.
This was not a rally that got out of control. This was not a protest that
turned violent unexpectedly. These people came to the Capitol straight
from a Trump rally with the expressed goal to stop the certification and
overturn the election.
These people brought zip ties, semi-automatic weapons, Molotov cocktails,
and pipe bombs. They brought nooses and hunted through the Capitol
building shouting “where’s Nancy.” They came within inches of breaching
the Senate chamber before officers were able to get it secured.
They intended to do harm and many of them will now go to jail.
But if we don’t act, the terrorists will still have enablers and
supporters selling their message on the floor of Congress. If we don’t
expel Members of Congress who supported an attempted coup, then it’s only
a matter of time before the next attack.

does not denounce the violent insurrection at the capitol must be
expelled.

At least 6 people are dead. The vicious mob murdered two Capitol police
officers. Others were chased, dragged, beaten, or crushed with more than 4
dozen officers sustaining injuries.
Last Wednesday, a violent mob of insurrectionists attempted a coup in our
nation’s Capitol. Members of Congress who won’t denounce it as a violent
insurrection are aiding and abetting those who want to bring down our
country and destroy our democracy -- and every single one of them must be
expelled.
Thank you for adding your name. Every leader in Washington needs to know
America is watching.
