PFAW Member,

Right-wing senators’ actual argument against convicting Trump seems to
amount to this: it’s perfectly okay for the president to incite a violent
insurrection against the U.S. government as long as he does it close
enough to the end of his term to avoid a Senate trial while still in
office.

With the possible exception of criminal prosecution, nothing other than
conviction and disqualification by the Senate will truly send the message
to future presidents that they cannot get away with rallying a seditious
mob to attempt a coup.

But enough right-wing senators to block Trump’s conviction already voted
this week for a resolution by Sen. Rand Paul saying the upcoming
impeachment trial is unconstitutional! Even though the House IMPEACHED
Trump while he was still in office … and even though there is clear
historical precedent for the impeachment and conviction (and
disqualification from holding future office) of a federal official who has
already left office.

Here’s the deal: We CANNOT let Trump off the hook for concocting and
spreading the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him, and
inciting a seditious mob of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol. And
we CANNOT let members of Congress off the hook for helping to incite
insurrection by amplifying Trump’s conspiracy theories and objecting to
the certification of the election results.

This means, in the short term, ramping up MAJOR PRESSURE on senators over
the next few weeks, leading up to and through the Senate impeachment
trial, and then, building a long-term campaign to hold every senator who
votes to absolve Trump of his unprecedented attack on our country
ACCOUNTABLE (with public pressure, congressional action, and, in some
cases, removal from office).

Our end-of-month deadline is only three days away and we’re $31,144 short
of our online goal – which, with just over a week to go until the Senate
trial begins, we need to hit in order to hold Trump, his congressional
enablers, and other right-wing insurrectionists accountable for their
assault on our democracy.

donation now?



This work is VITAL to reestablishing our country’s commitment to democracy
and the peaceful transfer of power. Even with Trump out of office, without
established safeguards and real accountability, our constitutional system
will not survive.

Thank you for standing with us.
