Dear fellow MoveOn member,
Last Tuesday was the beginning of the end of Donald Trump's presidency.
For weeks, the conventional wisdom has been that the House will impeach
Trump, but that the Senate's GOP majority will exonerate him.
But now that Bill Taylor, the top U.S. official in Ukraine and a 50-year
career civil servant, has provided irrefutable evidence that Trump made
aid for Ukraine contingent on helping Trump's re-election, convicting
Trump in the Senate has become a real possibility.
Let me say that again. Impeaching, convicting, and removing Trump from
office is within reach. Truly. Finally.
And that's why I feverishly wrote you this email, John. Because
how Republicans in the Senate respond will depend on how much pressure
they feel from their constituents. And that's where MoveOn comes in.
Folks at MoveOn have shown me their plan, and it's exactly what we need to
build insurmountable pressure on Senate Republicans and keep it up for as
long as it takes, all the way through the vote to convict Trump. But in
order for MoveOn to execute this plan, every single one of us needs to go
all-in, which is why I'm asking:
Will you join me and chip in $5 a month to MoveOn to help
impeach, convict, and remove Donald Trump from office?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'm all-in, and I'll become a monthly donor now.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in monthly.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he "did not want to be
used as a pawn in the U.S. re-election campaign," according to Taylor's
stunning testimony.
Even before Taylor's testimony, support for Trump's impeachment was
soaring among independents. The latest polling shows that a full 50
percent of Americans believe that Trump should be impeached and removed
from office. The numbers keep ticking upward. And that's before the public
impeachment hearings.
Republicans know that the walls are closing in on Trump. We're already
starting to see cracks in the GOP dam. Several moderate and
soon-to-be-retired House Republicans have opened the door to voting for
Trump's impeachment; the #2 ranking Republican, Senator John Thune, has
admitted that things look very bad for Trump; Senator Mitt Romney has
continued to pull away from the party line; and other Republican senators
like Joni Ernst and Susan Collins are literally running away from
questions about Trump's criminality.
Now is the time to double-down, and, thankfully, MoveOn is poised to run
on all cylinders.
MoveOn is hiring teams of organizers in four key states to work with local
activists to turn the pressure way up on the senators who are most likely
to break ranks with Trump. But organizers in just four states isn't
enough, and these organizers will need considerable and consistent
resources to really make a powerful initial splash—and then keep on
working for months to come.
I am so impressed with MoveOn's work and continued leadership in the fight
to impeach, convict, and remove Trump.
Will you help expand MoveOn's on-the-ground organizing in key states and
keep this campaign running on all cylinders for as long as it takes by
chipping in $5 a month?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
MoveOn first called for Trump's impeachment back in 2017, and I'll be
honest with you, even though I agreed that Trump was a corrupt criminal, I
didn't believe that impeachment would ever really happen.
But a lot has changed in the last couple of years. Frankly, a lot has
changed in the last couple of days.
Not only does Trump's impeachment now seem inevitable, it becomes more
likely by the day that he will actually be removed from office.
But we can't afford to drop the ball now. This isn't the time to sit back
and relax. If ever there was a time to come together, push harder, yell
louder, and demand much, much more from our elected representatives, it's
now.
I'm all-in on impeachment, are you? If yes, will you join me and MoveOn,
and chip in $5 a month?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.
