Dear MoveOn member,
Shocking news reports revealed last week that QAnon-supporting
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert live-tweeted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
location and movements during the white supremacist attack on Capitol
Hill, in what appears to have been an effort to help the racist mob locate
the speaker.^1
We've already impeached Trump, and we are working hard to ensure the
Senate convicts him. But we can't stop there. The Republicans like
Boebert, Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley, who also helped to motivate this
deadly white supremacist mob to invade the Capitol, plant explosive
devices, and murder a police officer, must be condemned, held accountable,
and removed from office.
Which is why MoveOn has launched an urgent, nationwide campaign to
immediately do just that.
From potentially buying newspaper, TV, and digital ads; holding rallies;
flooding Congress with calls; putting up billboards; and more, we're ready
and willing to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to get this
done. Will you chip in $5 a month to hold these traitors
accountable?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Led by a coalition of our partners, MoveOn helped release a full-page ad
in The New York Times last week, calling on Congress to expel not only
Trump but also the eight senators and 139 members of the House who voted
to overturn the election results.
And MoveOn is strongly supporting Representative Cori Bush's resolution
calling on the House to investigate and potentially expel Republican
members who helped incite the deadly white supremacist mob.
There is already a groundswell of bipartisan support for removing these
violent extremists from public office. The two largest newspapers in
Hawley's home state of Missouri have called on him to resign for his
despicable actions, his publisher has dropped his upcoming book deal, and
hundreds of his constituents painted "Resign Hawley" in downtown St. Louis
on Saturday.^2,3 And over the weekend, the Houston Chronicle called on Ted
Cruz to resign. In Colorado, Boebert's constituents even organized a rally
and press conference calling for her resignation.^4,5
Make no mistake: The calls for resignation, expulsion, and removal of
these violent members of Congress are growing louder and clearer.
We can win this fight.
We can send a powerful message that white supremacist violence won't be
tolerated.
But it won't be easy. People like Lindsey Graham are trying to sweep the
deadly white supremacist violence under the rug and are saying "it is time
to heal and move on."^6 Despicable.
There can be no healing without accountability. And accountability means
that the members of Congress who incited violence must be removed from
Congress.
John, we urgently need your help to run this campaign. Will
you chip in $5 a month to run this campaign for as long as
it takes to ensure these violent extremists don't get away with inciting a
deadly insurrection?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.
