[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: Expel Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert from
Congress!
Dear MoveOn member,
On Tuesday night, Representatives Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor
Greene made national headlines with their repeated disruptions and
heckling of President Biden’s State of the Union address.^1 This was just
the latest in a long pattern of behavior that demonstrates both Reps.
Boebert and Greene are absolutely unfit to serve as members of Congress.
In fact, Marjorie Taylor Greene attended the America First Political
Action Conference this weekend, which was hosted by a well known white
supremacist, Nick Fuentes.^2 This conference is widely considered to
propagate and support white nationalism. As a massive uptick in Nazi and
white nationalist sentiments spreads across the globe, people affiliated
with such bigotry should not have the authority to legislate the lives of
Americans. These representatives are unfit for Congress, and their
ideologies have no place within the halls of power. They must be removed.
We're calling on Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi to expel Reps. Lauren
Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress!

Since getting elected in 2020, both Reps. Boebert and Greene have been
known for their openly white supremacist beliefs.^3 And in addition to
stoking racist hatred throughout the conservative movement, both
representatives and their staffs reportedly played major roles in laying
the groundwork for the January 6 insurrection.^4 On that morning of
January 6, Rep. Boebert tweeted, "Today is 1776,"^5 while Rep. Greene has
explicitly compared the violent riots of that day to the Declaration of
Independence.^6
The actions and rhetoric of Reps. Boebert and Greene actively threaten the
lives of millions of Americans, especially Black people and people of
color, and endanger the democratic principles that are the foundation of
our nation.
Last night was just another reminder that congressional leaders must take
decisive action to hold Reps. Boebert and Greene accountable. Speaker
Pelosi must begin taking the steps to permanently expel these two
representatives from Congress, so that they can no longer undermine our
nation's institutions and values.
