This is a critical week to demand Congress act on impeachment. Can you make a call today to get your representative off the sidelines?? Dear MoveOn member,
The dam holding back impeachment is breaking.
Since last night, more than a dozen Democratic representatives—and counting—have come out for the House impeachment inquiry. This includes freshman Democrats from swing districts, responding to the unfolding story of Trump's latest impeachable offense—holding back funds Congress appropriated for Ukraine in order to pressure Ukraine's president to help Trump's re-election.1
Eddie, now is a critical time to push for impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is holding a Democratic Caucus meeting this afternoon. It's imperative that, by the time that happens, many more Democrats join the stampede for impeachment. Nearly two-thirds of House Democrats have publicly supported the formal impeachment inquiry already underway. And we know that many of them reached their conclusion after hearing from their constituents.
But your member of Congress, Representative Gregory W. Meeks, has not even supported the existing impeachment inquiry, let alone reached a conclusion on impeachment.
Here's where to call:
- Rep. Meeks - (202) 225-3461
Here's an example of what you could say: "Hello! I'm a constituent, and I'm concerned about Trump's abuses of power and the unwillingness of Congress to hold him in check. I believe Rep. Meeks must publicly support the House impeachment inquiry immediately and prepare to consider articles of impeachment."
Trump is an out-of-control, dangerous man who is using the power of the White House to harm us all. He is stirring up racial divisions and violence with his racist attacks and committing human rights atrocities against immigrant families, all while enriching himself, his family, and his donors.
And now, he has admitted that he used the power of his presidency to launch witch hunts into his political opponents. He continues to block every congressional effort to get to the truth—about his obstruction of justice, his family separation policies, his attempts to insert racist questions into the census, the secrets hidden in his taxes, his phone call with Ukraine (including the whistleblower complaint about that call) so much more.
It was already clear to many of us but is becoming even clearer to the holdouts: Democrats MUST impeach. And with the election approaching, the threat that impeachment becomes just another political football, rather than a sober responsibility to our country, becomes ever more concerning. The time to act is now.
Can you call and ask Rep. Meeks to support the existing impeachment inquiry today?
Here's where to call:
- Rep. Meeks - (202) 225-3461
The case for impeachment is more clear than ever. Now, Democrats need to hear from us, with an overwhelming show of grassroots support.
Thanks for all you do.
