Friend -- I want to make sure you saw this email. Devin Nunes is lying and making a fool of himself in the hearings. Nunes needs to go, and we're going to make that happen. Will you donate to help expand our groundbreaking get-out-the-vote texting program and defeat Devin Nunes?

Dear Friend,

The Trump impeachment hearings have revealed one bombshell after another, with long-serving diplomats coming forward to help uncover Trump’s abuses of power.

And leading the defense of Trump is Devin Nunes, Trump's #1 stooge in Congress, pushing bizarre claims about Democrats trying to get "nude pictures of Trump" and other Fox News conspiracy theories.(1)

He's become such a disgrace that he's in serious danger of losing reelection even in his red district. Courage Campaign helped flip 7 seats from red to blue in 2018, and we're preparing to launch a major expansion of one of the most effective tactics for getting out the vote in 2020: text messaging.

Here's why text messaging is so effective: More and more people are screening their calls, and young people especially don't have landlines. Worse yet, 80% of emails are never even opened. But 90% of text messages are read within five minutes -- allowing us to turn out the voters we need to end Devin Nunes' career for good.

Nunes’ opening statement was so full of lies, so blatantly misleading, and so ridiculously pandering to Trump that it has gone viral on Twitter.(2)

He called the hearings “a carefully orchestrated media smear campaign" -- entirely ignoring lifelong civil servants’ testimony that they had firsthand knowledge of Trump threatening to withhold aid to Ukraine if the country’s president didn’t force an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden’s son.(3)

He did nothing to find out if Trump actually committed the crime he has been accused of. He kept referencing Hillary Clinton and unproved bad actions from her 2016 campaign, ignoring entirely how Trump has abused power as the president.(4)

Perhaps worst of all, Nunes has tried to use his position on the House Intelligence Committee to reveal the name of the whistleblower who alerted Congress to the threats against Ukraine -- which would directly endanger their life.(5)

Now Nunes is in the public eye for his treasonous behavior, and we need to take full advantage. We're expanding our super-effective get out the vote texting program to help defeat Devin Nunes. Will you chip in?

Yes, I'll donate to help defeat Devin Nunes.

Yours in the fight for our democracy,

Eddie, along with Brian, Caitlin, Deepthi, Gabby, Jay, Lindsay, Mary, Molly, Phillip, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
