Dear fellow MoveOn member,

In the midst of the devastating climate crisis that's resulted in millions
of Texans being forced to go without power and water during the worst
extreme weather in a generation, Ted Cruz took off on a family vacation to
Mexico.^1 He's failed us again. It's long past time for him to resign. 

Senator Ted Cruz voted to acquit Trump after he incited a deadly
insurrection, and now, instead of connecting his constituents with
emergency services as they freeze and starve with no power, he left the
country to go on a vacation. Cruz is a failure. He must resign from office
for his role in enabling the violent white supremacist insurrection at the
U.S. Capitol and for failing Texans by leaving for vacation while his
constituents freeze and starve to death.

On Wednesday, January 6, we witnessed an unprecedented assault on our
democracy. A violent mob of white supremacists stormed the Capitol
building, ransacking and vandalizing members’ offices and the very
chambers of the Senate and the House. Five people, including one Capitol
Police officer, died as a result.

The seeds for this violent assault were planted well before January 6.
Senator Ted Cruz was among the loudest voices in the Senate calling for an
overturning of the will of tens of millions of voters in November's
election in states like Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and
Georgia.

Despite dozens of failed court challenges and no evidence of fraud
whatsoever, Sen. Cruz repeatedly stated that the election results from
states he doesn’t even represent were irregular and that they required
further investigation.

He continued to peddle these blatant lies for his own political gain, even
going so far as to send out a fundraising email while the siege of the
Capitol was underway.

Sen. Cruz has blood on his hands. To him, this was a political game where
he put his future opportunity to run for president above the people of
Texas. He won't even help Texans get the resources they need as they
suffer through the worst storm in a generation. Instead, he chose to flee
to Mexico for a family vacation in our time of need. He has lost the right
to represent Texans in the U.S. Senate. He must resign immediately.
