People For Supporter,

“A liar and a traitor.” Those were Senator Elizabeth Warren’s words
earlier this week, referring to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s
absurd and pathetic denial of a recording that reveals he believed Trump
should have resigned after the January 6 insurrection.^[ [link removed] ]

Senator Warren’s description is both true and tragic; what’s even scarier
is the very real possibility that Kevin McCarthy would ascend to Speaker
of the House – making him second in the line of succession to the
Presidency – if the party of the Big Lie seizes control of the House this
November.

In another example, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene testified under oath last
Friday that she “didn’t recall” advocating for martial law to prevent
President Biden’s inauguration. Cut to 3 days later, when – in the trove
of over 2,000 text messages from Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows
published by CNN -- is a January 17 text from Greene pushing for exactly
that.^[ [link removed] ] (Could anyone honestly forget something as extreme as advocating
for martial law to prevent the peaceful transfer of power following an
election??)

We need
your help. There’s a very real possibility of one or both chambers of
Congress coming under the control of proponents of the “Big Lie” next year
– and now, they’re showing little hesitancy to keep telling more lies.
This cannot be allowed to continue.

People For is uniquely positioned to get the truth out, and to mobilize
voters against the Far Right’s dangerous lies and authoritarian extremism
this fall. But, with the January 6 Committee hearings quickly approaching,
we can’t afford to wait. We have to use this moment for all its worth to
make sure that voters know the truth ahead of the November elections and
to stand up for truth and democracy ... or before we know it, it will be
too late.

But as our end-of-month deadline approaches, we’re significantly short of
the resources we need.

[1]We’re depending on our supporters like you to make this essential work
possible. Can you chip in a donation today to renew your People For
membership and help get the truth out? >>

Accountability for the insurrection and seditious conspiracy that almost
led to America’s first coup d’etat is essential to protecting our
democracy and restoring truth, justice and the American Way. The House
Select Committee on the events of January 6 will begin holding hearings in
June, and Rep. Jamie Raskin has said that revelations are coming that will
“blow the roof off the House.”^[1]

We’re currently planning a multi-pronged, nationwide campaign including
events, videos, activist briefings, and volunteer mobilization in order to
maximize the impact of these hearings on this fall’s elections. This is a
defining moment for this year’s elections and for American democracy
itself – so we’re going to lean in with everything we have ... but we
can’t do it without your urgently-needed support.

[2]Please continue to stand with us now, when your support is more vital
than ever, and renew today with a donation we’ll put to work immediately
towards these efforts! >>

The only way to ensure the survival of our cherished democracy – and the
American Way – is to keep fighting.

Thank you for everything you do.

– Ben Jealous, President
