Hey Team,
Following up on this email with an update on Rep. Greene. Today, Gerry and his Democratic colleagues voted to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments, including the Education and Labor Committee.
While this is a step in the right direction, it’s not enough. Greene has proven she is completely unfit to serve our nation, and Gerry is still calling for her expulsion from Congress. Will you help support him by signing on to our petition NOW?
As a woman who has harassed victims of school shootings and claims that Democrats staged school shootings for political gain, Rep. Greene has no place in the Education and Labor committee. It’s an insult to parents everywhere that Republicans placed her on the committee in the first place, and then lacked the courage to remove her.
But that’s just one of her many incendiary and harmful actions -- she’s promoted acts of violence against Nancy Pelosi, supported the violent insurrection on our Capitol, and promoted wild anti-semitic and anti-muslim conspriacy theories.
As we work to quell partisan divisions and bring an end to violence in our country, Marjorie Taylor Greene represents the worst parts of our polity. Her support of violence, left unchecked, could easily result in even more real life harm for those who work in our nation’s capital.
Greene has to go -- someone who calls for violence against her fellow lawmakers cannot remain in the halls of Congress. Sign on to support Gerry’s movement to expel Rep. Greene from Congress NOW!
Thanks for staying engaged as we fight the evils of Trumpism.
-- Team Connolly

Team,
On January 6th, our country came face to face with the evil of right-wing extremism. We saw just how dangerous the QAnon belief system is. At least one newly-elected Member of Congress has supported these conspiracy theories, and just hours before the attack on the Capitol promised that day would be "another 1776." Marjorie Taylor Greene is dangerous, and a threat to the safety of all of us in Congress. Last week, I called on her to be expelled from the House. This is not a decision I make lightly, and I wanted to let you in on my thought process.
Put simply, this is about standing on the right side of history. Rep. Greene poses a clear and present physical danger to members of our Democratic caucus unlike any we’ve seen from our fellow Members before. If you agree that Rep. Greene must go, sign on to our petition calling for her expulsion NOW!
Greene has called for the execution of prominent Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton. She has a long history of sharing disturbing posts on social media, making claims that the Sandy Hook massacre was staged and that Nancy Pelosi is actively rooting for more school shootings to further her gun control agenda. Perhaps most appalling of all, she filmed herself harassing a school shooting survivor on Capitol Hill, accusing him of being a crisis actor.
House Republicans have looked at this behavior and rewarded her with a seat on the Education Committee. They don't see anything wrong with harassing school shooting victims, calling on Democratic elected officials to be murdered, or encouraging the attack on the Capitol. To get Marjorie Taylor Greene out of Congress, we're all going to have to do our part. Add your name to our growing movement calling for the expulsion of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for her dangerous and hateful comments and actions NOW!
Thanks, Team -- I really appreciate your support on this one.
