Representative Jamie Raskin deserves our thanks.

Show your appreciation for your Representative's work to convict Trump.

Dear Andra, 

Earlier this month, nine members of Congress made the painstaking, gut-wrenching case to the Senate and the American people for convicting Donald Trump of inciting a violent insurrection. 
 
Your representative, Rep. Jamie Raskin, was one of these nine House impeachment managers who prosecuted Trump's in the Senate. Rep. Raskin did a great service to our country in exposing Trump's guilt in painful detail. 
 
Can you take a minute to thank Rep. Raskin for his service as a House impeachment manager?
 
Here are two ways you can show your appreciation: 
  1. Send a "Thank You" Tweet to Rep. Raskin (@repraskin).
  2. Make a "Thank you" call:
    Rockville Office: 301-354-1000
In the end, 57 senators voted to convict Trump, including seven Republicans and every single Democratic senator. Most Republicans showed their willingness to put allegiance to Trump over their oath of office in refusing to convict him. But even senators who voted to acquit Trump went out of their way to commend the House managers for their stellar work—work that was particularly bright in contrast to Trump's horrendous legal representation. 
 
These House managers gave it everything they had, worked tirelessly from the day the House impeached Trump through the sprint of a five-day trial, and even pushed to have witnesses called at the last minute. They represented the finest in public service through the process. And the case they made has helped secure widespread rejection of Trump among the American people, even if his most ardent supporters appear unfazed by his criminality. What's more, this impeachment will be remembered in history as a moment when our country came to a moral reckoning. We would not have that without the work of Rep. Raskin.

Take a moment to thank Rep. Raskin for prosecuting Trump in his Senate impeachment trial via either of the methods above.
 
While Trump's second impeachment trial is over, his legal troubles are just beginning. From Fulton Country, GA to New York City and Washington, D.C.—tax fraud to trying to fabricate election fraud—he faces criminal and civil cases at every level. We must make sure that the bravery and refusal to allow a free pass for the rich and powerful embodied by the House impeachment managers continue. We must prosecute Trump to the full extent of the law. 
 
Thanks for all you do.
