Today’s Action: Listen to Robert Mueller and protect our elections

Last week, the House of Representatives conducted much-anticipated hearings with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. One of the big takeaways (beyond emphasizing that Trump has lied to American public, undermined our government’s work to protect against Russia’s attack on our democracy, and is NOT exonerated of crimes by the report) was Mueller’s repeated emphasis on present and future election tampering.

“It wasn’t a single attempt. [Russia is] doing it as we sit here.” – Robert Mueller

Almost immediately, “Moscow Mitch” McConnell acted…to block safeguards to protect our elections. The Republican Senate Leader shut down the Foreign Influence Reporting in Elections Act, protective legislation created in direct response to Mueller’s findings. Absolutely disgusting – and we need to tell them so.

Call or email your Senators and demand they cosponsor and support legislation to protect our elections from ALL foreign influence. Tell Republican Senators you see this treasonous attempts to keep Trump in office through foreign meddling, and you’ll be fighting back.

“I think you might want to listen, there’s nothing wrong with listening… I think I’d take [help from a foreign adversary].” – Our current president, on foreign election influence.

With that statement, Trump is trying to shift public perception in favor of his crimes and admitting that he would break the law again, beginning the process of normalizing foreign interference in our elections. This absolutely must not be normalized if we are to have any real attempt at maintaining our system of government.

Congress must act swiftly and forcibly to counter, as Mueller says, the work already in place. Because we already know how this will turn out if they do nothing.

Email or call (202.224.3121) your Senators and demand they create legislation to keep foreign influence OUT of our elections. And remind Republicans they do not work for Russia – they work for us.
