Friend -

I wanted to make sure you saw the email below. President Trump’s White House announced this week it won’t cooperate with the impeachment inquiry at all, and the stakes couldn’t be higher! [1] We must make sure President Trump is held accountable for using taxpayer money and the promise of a meeting to try to obtain dirt from a foreign nation on a Democratic challenger in the 2020 elections. Our children are counting on us.

Quick signature: Add your name to our petition to demand that Congress hold President Trump accountable!

Our nation was founded on an ideal of liberty and justice for all—and those elected to represent us must govern of, by, and for the people. This is a historic and critical moment for our country. We have three co-equal branches of government to protect our extraordinary democracy. Now, Congress must act to ensure our laws apply to everyone. The disturbing abuses of power by President Trump must be thoroughly investigated through an impeachment inquiry.

President Trump is not above the law and must be held accountable. (Read more in the email below.)

Together we can protect our democracy and make our children proud.

---------- Forwarded message ---------

America’s elections belong to America’s voters, and no foreign government should ever play any role in determining the outcome.

Dear Friend,

This. This is not more of the same Trump twitter chaos. It’s tempting to tune out the regular barrage of shocking news coming from the White House these days. However, and this is a big however, this week’s revelations are something entirely different—and they have enormous gravity because they involve alleged abuse of America’s power for President Trump’s personal gain and they threaten the integrity and security of our elections.

This is not a drill. 

The President of the United States should be fighting foreign influences in our elections—not inviting them in. Shockingly the transcript and whistleblower complaint released this week seem to show that President Trump more than abused his power in conversations with Ukraine's president to try to pressure Ukraine to collect political dirt on presidential candidate, Joe Biden. [1,2]

America’s elections belong to America’s voters and no foreign government should play any role in determining the outcome—let alone be coerced by the President to do so! We must hold the President, and all leaders, accountable to the people.

This is a historically important moment to stand up not just for us, not just for today, but because the patterns we are setting now build the country our children will live in for future tomorrows—and we want our children to live in a fair democracy.

*Quick signature: Sign our open letter to Congress urging them to hold President Trump accountable. 

Our letter reads:

Dear Members of Congress:

As one of over a million members of MomsRising, I am writing to urge you to proceed with a thorough and fair impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

The blatant and horrifying alleged abuse of power by the President, who took an oath to “preserve, protect and defend’ our constitution must be investigated by Congress to determine whether President Trump invited—or attempted to coerce—a foreign government into influencing our elections.

America’s elections belong to America’s voters, and no foreign government should ever play any role in determining the outcome. We demand the truth, and we demand elections that are free and fair. President Trump—and anyone who was complicit in these alleged abuses of power—must be held accountable.

*Sign now: Tell Congress that no foreign government should ever play any role in determining the outcome of our elections! 

We cannot be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people if our government is not elected by the American people, without foreign interference.

The whistleblower’s report alleges President Trump tried to use U.S. power and taxpayers’ money to coerce Ukraine’s president into interfering in our elections and, further, that his administration then tried to cover up these illegal, thuggish, self-serving actions. [3] These actions must be thoroughly investigated. We deserve a president who puts the country’s interests ahead of his own, rather than desecrating our democracy.

Take action! Tell Congress that President Trump—and anyone who was complicit in these alleged abuses of power—must be held accountable. 

The more people who speak out, the bigger our impact. Please take a moment to forward our action link to your friends and family and share our action link on social media:  https://action.momsrising.org/sign/trump_impeachment/?t=14&akid=12969%2E2840598%2EwhQXRA

Together we can protect our democracy.
