John,
It has been one year since the January 6 insurrection took place.
This insurrection was planned and organized out in the open, and numerous far-right members of Congress enabled the mob as they worked to violently overthrow the results of a free and fair election.
Here’s just a few stark examples of what took place last year.
Rep. Brooks told the mob that was about to storm the Capitol, "Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass! Our ancestors sacrificed their blood, their sweat, their tears... Are you willing to do the same?"
Rep. Gosar told a crowd in Arizona while recruiting people to join the January 6 insurrection, that, "Once we conquer the Hill, Donald Trump is returned to being the president.”
We cannot allow any Members of Congress that attacked our democracy to get away with it.
As we have done since last year, we will keep pounding the drum to demand accountability for the January 6 attack because if seditionists get away with it, it will happen again. And the next time our democracy may not survive.
Stand with DFA as we demand that all Member of Congress proven to have incited, planned, or participated in the January 6 mob attack on the US Capitol be expelled.
Even though there is more than enough evidence that numerous Members of Congress incited last year's insurrection, there have been no consequences for them.
A violent mob of insurrectionists attempted a coup in our nation’s Capitol. It shouldn't even be controversial to state that Members of Congress who aid and abet those who want to bring down our country and destroy our democracy must be expelled.
The 14th Amendment unequivocally states that anyone who has "engaged in insurrection" against the United States Constitution is disqualified from serving in the U.S. Congress.
So why then are Members of Congress who did just that still in office?
Stand with Democracy for America members nationwide as we push to expel any seditionists in Congress proven to have incited, planned, or participated in the January 6 riot.
Thank you for adding your name. Every leader in Washington needs to know America is watching.
