Friend --

Tod‌ay, my colleagues in the House will vote on whether or not to hold President Trump accountable for inciting violence against every member of Congress last week.

I'm thinking about Republican members of the House. They have a choice to make: Will they vote to impeach President Trump and send a clear message to the American people that they stand on the side of democracy, peaceful transfer of power, and accountability? Or will they vote to stand by Donald Trump, who put their lives -- and the lives of countless staff and law enforcement -- in danger and who presents an immediate threat to our nation?

Tod‌ay, Congress can send a resounding message to all Americans and our allies and adversaries abroad that our democracy is strong and resilient. I hope my Republican colleagues will join us in defending our democracy.

Share your words of support today: Add your name (and a message, if you wish) to tell Republican members of the House to vote to impeach Donald Trump and to uphold our democracy.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
