| Dear Katy, This weekend, Trump admitted that he asked Ukraine's president to dig up dirt on 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden in an attempt to undermine our democracy and solicit foreign powers to interfere and sway the 2020 elections in his favor. Just last night, officials confirmed that Trump withheld $400 million in military aid leading up to his phone call with the Ukrainian president.1 Now, we are witnessing a national cover up as Trump refuses to provide Congress with a whistleblower complaint that would incriminate his lawless behavior.2 Far too many House Democrats have been abdicating their responsibility to impeach Trump and hold this administration accountable for repeatedly violating the Constitution and rule of law. By failing to act, they are complicit in the collapse of our democracy. Rep. DeGette needs to hear her will have her back when she leads on impeachment. Call now to add your voice. Tell Representative Diana DeGette: Demand Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives bring articles of impeachment to the floor and commit to vote to impeach Trump. Click here to get started with your call. Trump is so emboldened by Congress's refusal to act that he personally tried to collude with Ukraine's leader after the two-year investigation of Russian interference during the 2016 elections. Trump is even willing to go as far as withholding aid as leverage for his collusion and treason. As Trump stonewalls Congress by refusing to hand over whistleblower complaints, Speaker Pelosi is stonewalling the American people by refusing to lead on impeachment. Trump has committed numerous impeachable offenses and threatens our communities, democracy and planet on a daily basis. There is more than enough evidence to call for a full vote in the House of Representatives to impeach and doing anything less is recklessly putting our country at risk. But Speaker Pelosi is failing us, and she won't lead unless the Democratic Party pressures her to do so. Rep. DeGette must do what's right and demand that leaders of her party bring articles of impeachment to the floor – and commit to voting yes to impeach. It's past time for Democrats to throw their full support behind moving forward with impeachment proceedings. Democratic leaders are running out of excuses for why we shouldn't impeach – and this latest act of lawless behavior must be the last straw. That's why we need you to make calls every day until Democrats, like Rep. DeGette, step up and defend our democracy. Tell Representative Diana DeGette: Demand leaders in the House of Representatives bring articles of impeachment to the floor and commit to vote to impeach Trump now.
