Thanks so much to CBD for their early leadership on bringing us together in support of the resolution to censure Rep. Gosar.  TWS had a letter narrowly focused on encouraging a yes vote ready to go; I’m pasting it below and am happy to open it up for sign on (please share with other networks!).  We’re short on time so I’ll do this the old fashioned way: email me by 1pm today if you can sign your organization on.  No names needed – just organizational sign on.  Rules meets at 1145.  Here’s our three sentence letter:

 

Dear Representative: 

 

On behalf of million members and supporters, and in resolute condemnation of Representative Gosar’s actions, including posting a manipulated video on his social media accounts depicting himself killing Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Joseph Biden, the undersigned groups urge your support for H. Res. 789.  Violent, offensive, and threatening behaviors perpetrated or encouraged by Members of Congress have long-reaching, harmful impacts. It’s important that this Congress send a clear and prompt signal to our country and the world by condemning such actions.

 

“Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country.

This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.”  Thurgood Marshall
