Urge Your U.S. Representative NOW to Vote to Impeach Trump Tomorrow!

Call/email Your U.S. Representative Tonight(or Wednesday morning)

On January 6th, Donald Trump supporters used violence to defy democracy. #45 mobilized his supporters from across the country to storm the U.S. Capitol, destroying property and threatening the lives of elected officials. This was an effort to block Congress from affirming the results of the 2020 election. Five people died during this mob attack. At some peril to their lives, Congress proceeded to adopt the electoral college results affirming that Joe Biden would become the next U.S. President. Trump did nothing to stop the violence. He must be held accountable for his actions.

OPPOSITION TO THIS ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY!
Chad Wolf, Trump’s recently resigned Director of Homeland Security, said #45 supporters were “using violence as a means to achieve political ends”. This week the FBI issued a bulletin saying that armed protests were being planned at all 50 state capitols from January 17th through at least January 20th! On Monday, the Michigan Capitol Commission unanimously voted to ban open carry weapons in our Michigan State Capitol. MUUSJN published an alert urging this network to contact the Commission to ban BOTH open carry and concealed weapons and to install metal detectors.

MORE OPPOSITION:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned the assault on the capitol as a “failed insurrection” that was an attempt to “disrupt democracy”. He concluded “they failed, they failed”. A number of people, including Trump’s former defense secretary, Jim Mattis, called out the President for “inciting mob rule”. Vice President Mike Pence said that January 6th was a “dark day in the history of the United States Capitol”. Rep. Liz Cheney, the #3 member of the U.S. House, spoke in clear and uncertain terms that she would vote to impeach Donald Trump, saying there’s “never been a greater betrayal” by a president to his office and oath to the constitution.

HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE: Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy. We must hold him accountable for inciting violent attacks on the Capitol and his refusal to allow a smooth transition of government. On January 11th, House Democrats introduced a resolution calling for the impeachment of the President, charging him with “high crimes and misdemeanors” and “incitement of insurrection”. A growing number of Republicans are saying they want Trump out of office before President elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on January 20th. A vote on this resolution is expected on Wednesday January 13th. For more information, click HERE.
