It's a Republic, if you can keep it, John.

 

The framers of our Constitution designed a system of checks and balances with
three coequal branches of government, empowered to reign in the most
reactionary and radical ebbs and flows of popular opinion, and to secure the
fundamental, inalienable rights of all Americans.


The survival of our Republic as it was conceived is dependent on each branch
of government remaining disciplined and independent of one another, and
remaining loyal only to the Constitution and the American people—not to a
party, nor, especially, to one man.


The U.S. Senate, the upper chamber of the legislative branch, was once touted
as “the world’s greatest deliberative body.” And throughout our history, there
have certainly been times that were true.


But the current Republican Senate majority’s loyalty to the American people
and the Constitution has been replaced by absolutist partisanship, a zero-sum,
no holds barred political calculus, and allegiance to a party led by a
deranged, unhinged, immoral narcissist.


This allegiance to power and partisanship over the needs and interests of the
American people, and the illiberal, nativist populism Trump espouses, isTrumpism
.


But, while Donald Trump will leave the White House in a matter of weeks,
Trumpism has proven to be a persistent, pernicious force that will not so
easily be removed.


Donald Trump brought our nation to the precipice of calamity—a cliff we are
only beginning to slowly inch back from—and he did so with support, guidance,
and counsel from sycophants who encouraged and enabled his worst ideas and
instincts.


We must hold accountable those in power who, at the very least, did nothing to
prevent Donald Trump’s desecration of our nation's highest office and revered
institutions.


We now know the names of those who cannot be counted on to hold truth to
power, put country over party, and defend the Republic.


Therefore, we must defeat them.

 

All of them.


Our mission is far from over, John, but we’re honored to have you with us in
the most important fight of our lifetimes.
