Dear MoveOn member,

This is huge: The House of Representatives has removed extremist
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments!

MoveOn members have been signing petitions, calling their members of
Congress, rallying, and more to demand Rep. Greene be held accountable for
her vile views of school shootings being fake and promoting violence
against her colleagues. 

But almost every single Republican voted against this move, proving once
again that they are enablers of Rep. Greene, Trump, and the Treason Caucus
who participated in the attack on our democracy.

The Republican Treason Caucus doesn't get to rewrite history. Just hours
after the Capitol had been breached, vandalized, and ransacked by
thousands of white supremacist rioters, 147 Republicans still voted
against certifying the election.

But we're not letting them get away with it. Here’s how MoveOn members
have been fighting back against these Republicans:

[1]rotating pictures of the accountability work

* MoveOn members chipped in to fund digital ads targeting Josh Hawley
(R-MO), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) and taking over the
websites of major newspapers in their states—The Kansas City Star,
Houston Chronicle, and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,
respectively—including quotes from two of the papers’ editorial boards
calling for the senators’ resignations. 

* More than 700,000 MoveOn members signed petitions calling for
accountability for Republicans including Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Lauren
Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Roger Marshall—including calls to
expel them, investigate them, demand they resign, and strip them of
committee assignments.

* MoveOn members joined Voto Latino to simultaneously deliver the
petition calling for Ted Cruz to resign to his offices in Austin,
Houston, Dallas, and Washington, D.C. [ [link removed] ]Check out the livestream of
the events here and the full-page ad we took out together in
the [ [link removed] ]Dallas Morning News to amplify the need for Sen. Cruz to
resign.

* Polling from Data for Progress in [ [link removed] ]Missouri, [ [link removed] ]Wisconsin, and
[ [link removed] ]Texas showed that a majority of voters in their states want
Senators Hawley, Johnson, and Cruz out. [ [link removed] ]Check out Representative
Ocasio-Cortez's tweet lifting up the Texas results here.

* More than 400,000 MoveOn members signed a petition started by
RuralOrganizing.org demanding that Republican leadership act to remove
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Education and Labor
Committee. Yesterday, MoveOn drove a mobile billboard around House
Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy's district, calling him and the
entire GOP out because their refusal to hold her accountable is
support for her extremist and disqualifying views, and the event was
covered on the local ABC, CBS, and NBC affiliates. Our Revolution Kern
County partnered to hold a rally at the billboard and delivered the
petitions to Rep. McCarthy.

* The Creative Lab team has been producing hard-hitting content
demonstrating how the GOP Treason Caucus is to blame for the violent
attacks on our democracy, including [ [link removed] ]this video with Eric Ward of
the Western States Center.

* And finally, thousands of MoveOn members have called members of the
GOP Treason Caucus, demanding that they resign for openly encouraging
insurrection. Thousands more called Democratic members of Congress as
well, asking that they move to expel anyone who voted against
certifying the election.

Together, with millions of MoveOn members taking action across the
country, we'll hold these undemocratic Republicans accountable for their
attempt to undermine and damage our democracy.

As the Senate gears up for an impeachment trial to hold the
seditionist-in-chief accountable for inciting the riot, we won't forget
the 147 who actively supported him. The eight senators who voted to
overturn the election results should be on trial next to him. 

The Treason Caucus still has power—so we can't let up yet. Senate
Democrats must eliminate the filibuster to ensure a single Republican
can't hold up essential legislation like COVID relief or democracy reform.
House Democrats must go further and expel Marjorie Taylor Greene from
office because of her extreme views and support of the deadly insurrection
and violence against elected leaders.

[ [link removed] ]This work has ALL been fueled by the generosity of MoveOn members.
Pitch in $3, or whatever you can, so we can keep up this
work and more moving forward.

Thanks for all you do.
