Dear MoveOn member,
MoveOn is making history by launching an effort to remove Justice Clarence
Thomas from the Supreme Court.
Bombshell reports just revealed that Ginni Thomas, a far-right activist
and the wife of Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressured Donald Trump's White
House chief of staff to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential
election.^1
When the case to determine if documents from the Trump White House should
be released to the congressional commission investigating the January 6
insurrection—including the texts from Ginni Thomas—came before the Supreme
Court, Justice Thomas failed to recuse himself and was the only justice in
an 8-1 decision to rule that the records should not be released.^2
Thomas has abused his power and compromised the legitimacy of the court.
And he may very well have concealed these conflicts from his own
colleagues, including Chief Justice John Roberts.
That's why we're demanding that Thomas resign or be impeached—and we're
calling on Chief Justice Roberts to address this attack on the court's
legitimacy. To ramp up the pressure, MoveOn is preparing to run
hard-hitting TV ads along with a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal—a
publication known to be read by Chief Justice John Roberts—highlighting
Thomas's wrongdoing.
But we can do this only if we know that MoveOn members like you will help
support the campaign. Will you chip in $5 a month to help
provide the funds to run television and newspaper ads calling on Chief
Justice Roberts to condemn Thomas's actions and keep up the pressure for
as long as it takes?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
In the recently uncovered and highly inappropriate text messages, Ginni
Thomas tells Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that "Biden and the Left is
attempting the greatest Heist of our History."^3
She also cites a QAnon-fueled message that suggests that President Biden
and his family members should be "arrested & detained" and sent to "barges
off GITMO to face military tribunals."^4
Thomas urges Trump's closest aide not to concede by saying, "It takes time
for the army who is gathering."^5
Ginni Thomas actively encouraged the attempted white supremacist coup—and
then Clarence Thomas tried to cover up her involvement by using his office
as a Supreme Court justice to block the release of damning records,
including the bombshell text messages sent by his wife.
We know that Chief Justice Roberts is concerned for the legacy of the
court—and is well aware that the American public already increasingly
views the Supreme Court as a partisan and dysfunctional institution.
Clarence Thomas's blatant wrongdoing only makes it worse—and we believe
that with the court's legacy and his own legacy on the line, Chief Justice
Roberts could be compelled to take action to sideline Justice Thomas for
such conflicts of interest.
And that's where you come in: Will you chip in $5 a month
to help put up television and newspaper ads calling for Thomas to be
removed from office and then help us keep the pressure on for as long as
it takes?
[ [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.

Want to support our work? Right-wing groups are spending tens of millions
of dollars on TV ads to smear critical progressive legislation. Meanwhile,
donations to progressive groups like MoveOn are plummeting now that a
Democrat is in the White House, meaning we don’t have the resources to
fight back. That's a huge problem, and that's why we urgently need your
support.
Will you chip in to fight right-wing lies and pass urgent legislation to
confront the multiple crises our country faces?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
