Dear MoveOn member,
A video of Donald Trump loyalist and Arizona senator, Martha McSally, is
going viral because she lashed out at a reporter who asked her whether she
would support a fair impeachment trial in the Senate. Trump is excitedly
tweeting about it and asking his millions of Twitter followers to chip in
to her campaign because of her blind support for his corruption.
Right-wingers on the internet are abuzz.^1
Here's the thing, though: The majority of voters in this country don't
want a Congress that acts as a rubber stamp for a lawless and corrupt
president. Most Americans believe in democracy and checks and balances and
are sick of watching Republicans fall all over themselves to defend Trump.
McSally is in one of the tightest races in the country this year, and
control of the Senate could come down to what happens in Arizona. If
thousands of us chip in today to support her Democratic opponent, Mark
Kelly, one of the leading voices for ending the epidemic of gun violence
in America, we will demonstrate that there are real political consequences
for any politician who puts Trump ahead of our democracy.
[ [link removed] ]Can you chip in $3 now to Mark Kelly's campaign to hold
Martha McSally accountable for her willingness to support a kangaroo court
instead of a fair impeachment trial and help end Republican control of the
Senate?
McSally was not even elected by the people of Arizona to represent them in
the Senate. After she lost her 2018 race, she was appointed by the
governor to fill the state's other Senate seat. This un-elected senator is
now working for Trump, rather than the people of Arizona—which makes her
one of the most vulnerable senators in 2020.
Democrat Mark Kelly is a former U.S. Navy combat pilot, engineer, and NASA
astronaut. And, in addition to his leadership fighting gun violence, he's
working for access to affordable health care, to tackle climate change,
and to put science front and center in federal policies—while not taking a
penny from corporate PACs.^2
Kelly has the name recognition and stature to make this a real race—and
today's a day when we can give his candidacy a boost, send a message of
accountability to McSally, and make it clear to other Republicans that
there will be political repercussions for aiding and abetting the Trump
cover-up.

the worst senators in America.
Thanks for all you do.
