Damn fools!

As the impeachment hearings against Donald Trump go on, Republican members of Congress are shredding reality to protect him in the face of mounting evidence that he and his administration are a criminal syndicate.

Dear MoveOn member,

As the impeachment hearings against Donald Trump go on, Republican members of Congress are shredding reality to protect him in the face of mounting evidence that he and his administration are a criminal syndicate.

Here's the truth: Congressional Republicans know that Trump is guilty, and they know that they look like damn fools for protecting him. Every day, they are making a calculation of how far they can take this without losing their careers, which is why it is so important for MoveOn to ramp up its campaign to break the Republican dam by making an association with Trump's crimes politically toxic, leaving no choice but to get rid of Trump once and for all.

Eddie, will you join me and chip in $3 a week to help MoveOn's all-hands-on-deck campaign to impeach, convict, and remove Donald Trump from office? (MoveOn will bill your weekly donation to your credit card once a month starting today and will contact you shortly after Trump is no longer president to see if you want to modify or cancel your weekly donation.)

Yes, I'll chip in weekly to help keep MoveOn's impeachment campaign going for as long as it takes.

No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in weekly.

I am so grateful that MoveOn members have been in this fight from the beginning, but now that we are in what could be the final sprint, we need to pull out all the stops. The team at MoveOn has shown me their plans, and I believe that if they can execute all of what they want to do, it could make all the difference. With your help, MoveOn will:

• Run TV ads advocating for impeachment in critical districts during the upcoming congressional recess. While Republicans, including Trump's "new Republican star" Elise Stefanik, are in their home districts this coming week, MoveOn will buy ad space to run commercials demanding that they stop carrying water for Trump and instead stand up for their constituents. When the ad was released on social media on Friday, it got tens of thousands of views in an hour, and we know it will get even more play on television in the district.
• Build a massive rapid-response network to host events the night before the impeachment vote. These hundreds of nationwide protests will take place in front of congressional offices in hundreds of districts around the country just before the House votes on impeachment, and MoveOn needs to make sure that tens of thousands of people show up across the country to make their support visible.
• Work on the ground in key states to flip Republican senators to vote to convict. MoveOn has hired organizers in four states, and they're already working tirelessly day in and day out to generate local media coverage, rally communities, host weekly events, and build pressure on the Republican senators who are most likely to vote to convict Trump.
• Keep camera crews at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., to confront members of Congress. MoveOn activists have been asking a very simple question of Republicans: Is it OK for a president to solicit help from a foreign government to win an election? Republicans are literally running and hiding to avoid answering this question, so MoveOn is capturing evidence of their cowardice, featuring it in digital videos, and sharing the videos far and wide.

The team at MoveOn has told me how much it will cost to run all of these programs at once, plus keep the phones ringing off the hook on Capitol Hill. The bottom line is that right now MoveOn does not have the budget to keep everything going at the intensity I know this fight to get Trump impeached requires, and that is why MoveOn needs your help.

Eddie, will you chip in $3 a week, so that MoveOn can keep every single one of the programs critical to impeaching Donald Trump up and running? (MoveOn will bill your weekly donation once a month starting today and will contact you shortly after Donald Trump is no longer president to see if you want to modify or cancel your weekly donation.)

Yes, I'll chip in weekly to keep MoveOn's impeachment campaign going for as long as it takes.

No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in weekly.

Thanks for all you do.
