Dear MoveOn member,
Let's cut to the chase: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has
advocated murdering Democrats, still thinks Trump won the election, and
claims that the deadly mass school shooting in Parkland, FL, was a
hoax.^1,2,3 She must be removed from Congress—immediately.
Greene has repeatedly endorsed political violence, calling for a "bullet
to the head" of Nancy Pelosi and helping incite the January 6 white
supremacist attack on our Capitol.^4 And yet, the GOP is trying to sweep
the insurrection under the rug and has even rewarded Greene with coveted
seats on powerful committees.^5 It's going to be up to us to hold these
traitors accountable.
Which is why MoveOn has launched a huge, nationwide campaign to call for
the removal of Marjorie Taylor Green and other GOP seditionists from
Congress.
But we need your help to ensure we're prepared to go big—for as long as it
takes— with TV ads, billboards, and "homepage takeover" ads blanketing the
websites of local newspapers in the seditionists' districts. Will you
start a $5 monthly donation right now to help ensure we have
the resources to hold these traitors accountable?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly to help remove seditionists from Congress.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Marjorie Taylor Greene made her name off of promoting QAnon, which The New
York Times describes as a right-wing conspiracy theory that promotes the
idea that "Donald Trump is a messiah sent to defeat a cabal of
Satan-worshiping, child-abusing, deep-state villains."^6
And she's endorsed conspiracy theories claiming that 9/11 was an inside
job and that the Sandy Hook shooting—where 26 elementary school children
and teachers were massacred—was staged.^7
And that's just scratching the surface. She suggested the 2018
midterms—when our nation's first two Muslim congresswomen were
elected—were part of "an Islamic invasion of our government," and she
thinks "Jewish space lasers" were responsible for a wildfire in
California.^8, 9 Seriously.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, her racism, hate, conspiracy theories, and
slanderous attacks on the memories of murdered children have no place in
Congress. But we know that, throughout our nation's history, white
supremacists and far-right extremists too often go unchecked for the
violence and terror they cause.
So it's up to us to act: Will you start a a $5 monthly
donation right now to help us push Congress to remove Marjorie Taylor
Greene and other dangerous right-wing extremists from office?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly to help remove seditionists from Congress.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Our hard-hitting campaign to oust Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, Josh
Hawley, and all of the other GOP seditionists couldn't be more important.
But we'll be frank: We weren't expecting to run a massive, nationwide
campaign to defend democracy after Joe Biden's inauguration.
With Joe Biden in office and Democrats in control of the Senate, we had
planned on huge campaigns to pressure Congress to deliver more emergency
checks, beef up unemployment insurance, speed up the delivery of vaccines,
and more.
Our budget did not account for a nationwide, emergency campaign of this
scale right after President Biden had been inaugurated.
But we need to do BOTH at the same time.
We need to organize to deliver bold economic relief and stop the spread of
the virus while ALSO holding the GOP seditionists to task for helping
incite a vicious attack on our democracy.
John, MoveOn doesn't take a dime of corporate cash, and our
staff doesn't spend time wining and dining lobbyists. We're
people-powered, which means our resources come from people like you—our
members.
We just crunched the numbers, and we need 1,906 new monthly donors before
midnight to power our campaigns. Will you chip
in $5 monthly to help meet our goals and fuel our effort to
call for the removal of Marjorie Taylor Greene and the other GOP
traitors—without pulling critical resources away from our efforts to pass
bold pandemic relief legislation?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly to help remove seditionists from Congress.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.
