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

People For Member,

The Senate is expected to vote TOMORROW on forming a 9/11-style bipartisan
commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection, but Mitch McConnell
and other far-right senators are trying to block it!

We can’t let their cowardly desperation to keep the spotlight off of what
former President Trump and his mob did that day – and, yes, how some
within their own ranks might have helped incite the insurrection – prevent
the accountability necessary to avert another, perhaps even worse, assault
on our democracy!

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and demand that your senators vote in favor of
creating the commission! We cannot allow partisan stonewalling to shield
accountability for one of the biggest threats to our democracy in
years! >>

Thank you,

Zach, People For the American Way

P.S. – [ [link removed] ]Don't forget to join People For President Ben Jealous and other
progressive advocates for a townhall discussion tonight at 8 PM ET on why
the commission is needed in the fight to hold the insurrections and those
who incited them accountable. RSVP now! >>

People For Member,

If House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell get their way – former President Trump and his staunchest
supporters may evade accountability for their role in the January 6
insurrection.

Just as a bipartisan deal was announced to form a 9/11-style commission to
investigate the events leading up to and surrounding the insurrection
waged by Trump’s supporters, McCarthy and McConnell announced their
opposition to the proposal – preferring instead to further insulate Trump
and his supporters from an investigation into their actions that seriously
jeopardized our democracy.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and urge your senators to SUPPORT the commission
to investigate the January 6 insurrection. We must investigate what
happened and who was involved in supporting the attack! >>

What happened on January 6 and the desire to investigate what led to it
should transcend party politics, but instead of supporting what is best
for the country, McCarthy and McConnell have chosen to shield Trump yet
again – first during the impeachment trial following the insurrection and
now by opposing a bipartisan plan to investigate what happened.

And rather than acknowledge the events that occurred, many on the Far
Right are already engaging in revisionist history; with some Republican
members of Congress likening the events on January 6 to “a normal tourist
visit,” a claim that anyone who witnessed the horrific events that day
knows is outrageous.

Our nation deserves better, and we deserve to know what led to the
dangerous attacks on January 6 in the pursuit of accountability for those
involved, including former President Trump.

[ [link removed] ]Urge your senators to vote YES when the bipartisan commission deal
comes to a vote on the Senate floor – we deserve answers! >>

As the nation moves forward to address the many failures of the Trump
administration and navigating our way out of the pandemic, those on the
Far Right have chosen to double down on Trumpism and all that it
represents.

We cannot allow them to succeed.

[ [link removed] ]Demand that your senators support the bipartisan commission to
investigate the January 6 insurrection >>

Thanks for all that you do,

Zach, People For the American Way
