A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************

PFAW Member -- In the first 48 hours since Speaker Pelosi announced
formal impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump, we saw the release of
bombshell reports that describe offenses that are UNDENIABLY impeachable
and public sentiment on impeachment has swung HARD in support of House
Democrats' action.

And this is truly AMAZING: Polling now shows a MAJORITY of Americans
favoring impeachment!!!

We're winning the media narrative and dispelling Republicans' lies and
diversion tactics, but that's not nearly enough -- the energy we need to
build to support this movement, especially at the grassroots level, is
going to take a TON of work ... and this congressional recess we're
heading into for the next two weeks (starting today) is going to be
critical.

THE HILL just reported last night that in the two days following the
impeachment announcement, the Trump campaign and the RNC raised a whopping
$13 MILLION!!!

Our People Powered campaign to protect the impeachment investigation and
hold Trump accountable still needs to raise nearly $44,000 in just the
next 3 days to keep up with our efforts!

campaign?

[ [link removed] ]Impeach Trump!

PFAW Member,

We’re impeaching Trump and we need you with us for this fight.

The whistleblower complaint that was released to the public just today is
absolutely DAMNING. It provides a study in corruption laying out the
magnitude of a scheme among numerous people around Donald Trump to enlist
Ukraine in an effort to dig up dirt on a political rival and subvert our
democratic elections, and then to cover up the evidence of that scheme!

The fight to impeach Trump is a historic endeavor with so much at stake
and Republicans are going to try to obstruct, undermine, and discredit the
impeachment investigation at every turn.

That’s why I'm coming to you with this emergency ask for [ [link removed] ]a donation to
fund the fight for impeachment before our September deadline.

Trump Republicans are already circling the wagons and trying to distort
information about Trump’s solicitation of a foreign country for help with
his re-election! We need to raise $55,000 before the end-of-month deadline
to keep us in the fight.

[ [link removed] ]Can you rush an immediate donation to be part of the campaign to
impeach Trump and protect the impeachment investigation?

Our funding deadline coincides with the beginning of a two-week
congressional recess that will be absolutely crucial to shaping the entire
impeachment process in Congress.

PFAW can play a unique and necessary role in this effort and our members’
support will be absolutely critical.

* PFAW has legal and communications expertise that will be vital to
shaping the media narrative, dispelling the Right’s lies and diversion
tactics, and helping activists understand the process.

* Thanks to our hundreds of thousands of members like you, we will help
lead the nationwide groundswell of grassroots pressure that’s going to
be necessary for this fight – impeachment requires a movement!

* PFAW has unique reach into key constituencies via our programs like
African American Ministers In Action and Young People For Action.

* And PFAW's Right Wing Watch is uncovering the strategies and tactics
that right-wing activists are using to defend the president, and
exposing the fallacious conspiracy theories that Republicans are
relying on to distract the public from Trump's wrongdoing AND that are
driving this administration's agenda in the first place! (PFAW's own
Jared Holt, from our RWW team, wrote an amazing guest piece for the
Washington Post, published Thursday, titled, "How far-right conspiracy
theories informed Trump's Ukraine call.")

We are playing a central role and, together, with you by our side, we will
make history and SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY from the lawlessness and corruption of
this president and his allies.

But as we approach our deadline – and the congressional recess – we need
to hit our fundraising goal to make sure we can have our biggest impact in
the impeachment fight while still maintaining all of our work to elect
progressives, fight corruption and extremism, and defend Americans’
fundamental rights.

[ [link removed] ]Please give as generously as you can right now to impeach Donald Trump
and finally hold this lawless administration accountable>>

You might be asking yourself, what makes this different from Trump many
previous crimes and scandals? Here's the answer:

The impact of these revelations will play out far differently from the
findings of the Mueller report, which laid out similar instances of
corruption and obstruction but were presented to the public in a drawn-out
confusing way. The Mueller report was 400 pages, came out years after the
incidents in question took place, and was released in a manipulated,
corrupt, and dishonest way by the Trump administration. This whistleblower
complaint is several pages long, easy to understand, and outlines CURRENT
efforts by Trump to pressure and collude with a foreign country to help
his re-election. There will be far less ambiguity about exactly what
happened and Trump Republicans' ability to spin these allegations will be
much more limited.

The whistleblower complaint shows that the effort to pressure Ukraine to
help Trump apparently started months before the infamous July phone call
and, according to the whisteblower, that call only happened after numerous
officials established that Ukraine would have to 'play ball' in order to
get a call or a meeting with Trump.

The report and the activities it recounts are jaw-dropping; the American
people have every right to expect all those who participated in this
scheme to be held accountable -- that's why it's so important that we push
hard for impeachment right now.

Among other things, the report shows:

* More evidence of a quid pro quo arrangement demanded by the White
House in exchange for Ukraine’s help...

* Evidence that the scheme began months before the July phone call, with
extensive involvement by Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani...

* More evidence of involvement by Attorney General William Barr...

* Clear evidence that administration officials were aware of wrongdoing,
as evidenced by their efforts to conceal records of the phone call...

We need to stand together and fight like hell. This fight is too important
for anything less.

TRUMP!>>

Thank you for everything.

Onward,

Michael Keegan, President
