Friend -
I wanted to make sure you saw the important email below with 5 actions you
can take on impeachment this week.
We are watching history in the making, as the U.S. House of
Representatives will vote this week on whether to impeach President Trump.
(The fight will continue in the new year with the Senate trial to remove
him!) The evidence is clear: President Trump used taxpayer money and the
promise of a meeting to try to obtain dirt from a foreign nation on a
Democratic challenger in the 2020 elections. After that, he obstructed
Congress’ investigation into this abuse of power.
We need absolutely EVERYONE to speak out in every way they can. Make sure
you’ve [ [link removed] ]signed our petition, [ [link removed] ]called your Representative, and
[ [link removed] ]shared our video. Also, if you can make it—[ [link removed] ]attend an impeachment
event near you!
Thanks for speaking out to protect our democracy!

Dear Friend,
If any of our children behaved in the way that Donald Trump’s been
behaving with his bullying use of Twitter (like his recent Tweet at
16-year-old Greta Thunberg), and, importantly, his proven abuse of power
for his own personal gain; then they’d get a time out. Fortunately, there
are laws in place to help check the misuse of power, and to give a
President running amok a timeout too: The impeachment process—and many
members of Congress are stepping up to protect our democracy using this
process.
Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee did its duty by passing two
articles of impeachment. We are appalled by President Trump’s abuse of
power, the lies he and members of his administration told to cover it up,
and the many ways he violated the law by obstructing the congressional
investigation into these crimes.
President Trump used taxpayer money and the promise of a meeting to try to
obtain dirt from a foreign nation on a Democratic challenger in the 2020
elections.
This is a dangerous and illegal abuse of power, but Congress will only act
if millions of us demand it. Every Democratic and every Republican
lawmaker should put country ahead of political party. Here are 5 things
you can do =>
1. Quick signature: Tell Congress to Impeach and Remove President Trump!

BACKGROUND: America’s elections belong to America’s voters and no foreign
government should play any role in determining the outcome—let alone be
coerced by the President to do so! President Trump must be held
accountable for the blatant and horrifying abuses of power which have come
to light during the impeachment inquiry, as well as the obstruction of
Congress’ investigation into these abuses. [ [link removed] ]Sign now! We must hold the
President, and all leaders, accountable to the people.

5. Need talking points on impeachment for the holiday season?
BACKGROUND: With the holiday season upon us, many of us are anticipating
tension at family gatherings with regard to impeachment. Though having
tough conversations isn’t as easy as pumpkin pie, it’s important to come
together, share how we feel, and to listen because we as a nation we will
need to come to a place of healing after what is likely to be a long and
contentious impeachment process. [ [link removed] ]Read and share this blog to learn how
