[1]Ayanna Pressley

Hi, it's Congresswoman Ilhan
Omar.

It's officially happened.

Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans have removed both Rep. Adam
Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell from their House Intelligence Committee
assignments.

This move from Speaker McCarthy and the GOP is not just a cheap political
stunt — it is a blow to the integrity of our democracy and a threat to our
national security.

McCarthy has already made good on two of his promises to his right-wing
allies and corporate donors, and I'm his next target. After months and
months of endless attacks, it's so important that our movement continues
to stand together and fight back.

That's why I'm sincerely asking:

[ [link removed] ]Will you split a contribution — of $3 or anything you can
afford — between our people-powered campaign and Ayanna Pressley today?
This is such an important time to show the strength of our grassroots
movement.

Here's the truth:

Our democracy depends on healthy and vibrant debate. Our strength lies not
in our perfection, but in the diversity of our voices.

That is why — whatever our disagreements might be as members of Congress —
policy differences alone are not cause for removing someone from serving
on a committee.

In modern American history, the punishment of stripping a member of
Congress of their committee assignments has been reserved only for the
most extreme wrongdoings.

That means representatives who have been indicted on charges of
corruption, who have engaged in bribery, sexual misconduct, or encouraged
violence against other members.

Rep. Schiff and Rep. Swalwell, on the other hand, have been removed as
retaliation for their tireless work bringing the truth about the January 6
insurrection to the American people.

I'm under attack because nothing scares the Republican Party more than a
Black, Muslim, progressive refugee relentlessly fighting for a better
world.

These attempts to silence us and undo the progress our movement has made
together are a cheap, personal, and political stunt — and we will always
stand up to them. So please:

[ [link removed] ]Can you split a $3 contribution between me and Ayanna
Pressley so we have the resources to fight back? I would not be asking if
your support were not so important.

Nobody — not Kevin McCarthy, not the Republican Party, not the
billionaires who fund them — will ever stop me in our fight for a more
equitable, just, and peaceful world.

Thank you, as always, for being a part of it.

In solidarity,

Ilhan Omar
