John,

The only thing we know for certain when it comes to George Santos is that he is an unrepentant liar and grifter. 

However, no one gets to Congress on their own—especially an unknown like Santos. Enter House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik.

Sign the petition: Investigate and expel Elise Stefanik from Congress.

According to reports, Santos’ lies were kind of an open secret among Republicans. That didn't stop Stefanik, who as the third-ranking House Republican is the most influential elected member of the GOP in New York, from using her prolific fundraising prowess to convince donors to support his campaign. Many people reportedly contributed to Santos because she endorsed him and aggressively campaigned on his behalf.

Without her validation, Santos may not have made it to Congress. So it begs the question: What did Stefanik have to gain by supporting him?

 

 

Santos is not the only reason Stefanik should be expelled. She was catapulted to a top House Republican leadership position after the GOP purged Liz Cheney from the role as punishment for speaking out against Donald Trump's violent attempted coup. Stefanik has since proven to have no moral boundaries whatsoever, eagerly embracing the farthest-right conspiracy theories culled from QAnon, from neo-Nazi groups, and other extremists. 

The Nassau County Republican committee and other prominent Republicans have publicly denounced Santos. Stefanik has been suspiciously quiet. If nothing else, her ties to Santos must be thoroughly investigated. If it's found she also knowingly defrauded voters, she must also be expelled from Congress.

Sign the petition: Investigate and expel Elise Stefanik from Congress.

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
