John, you know, the interesting thing about courage is that it's contagious.
When I look at last Wednesday's vote in the U.S. House to create a non-political, bipartisan commission to study the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol building, it boggles my mind that so many Republicans could vote against it.
But what I want to draw your attention to is the 35 Republicans who defied orders from GOP leadership and voted for this commission. First it was 10 who courageously stood up and voted for impeachment. Then it was more who voted to keep Rep. Liz Cheney in leadership. And now this.
You see, what's happening here is more and more members are remembering who they work for and they're voting their conscience to strengthen and heal America. They don't work for McCarthy and McConnell - they work for the American people who elected them.
I spoke about this recently if you'd like to watch a short clip here.
This will continue to grow and in some part, it's thanks to the work we have been doing to push back on the nonsense and instead, embrace truth and integrity. But we still have a long way to go to heal our nation's politics and refocus the GOP on offering Americans policy ideas and a hopeful vision for the future.
John, I need your help to keep up the fight. The money we raise goes directly into our advocacy work, helping us rally more supporters to fight for our country. Anything you'd be willing to contribute to that effort is most appreciated. What happened Wednesday gives me hope that each of us has the power to make a difference. If you live in a district represented by somebody who voted against this, reach out and ask them why. If they feel enough pressure from their constituents, just watch as they find their courage.
Together, we are making a real difference. Thank you for all that you're doing!
-John
