Mike Johnson won't seat a duly elected Democrat. How to respond (INDIVISIBLE)

https://indivisible.actionkit.com/mailings/view/121434



It has been a full month since Arizonans elected Adelita Grijalva to the US House in a special election, but Speaker Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. He’s undermining democracy and denying 812,000 Arizonans their constitutional right to representation in Congress.

And here’s the kicker: Grijalva would be the decisive 218th signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files -- something Johnson desperately wants to prevent.

This isn’t just partisan games. It’s part of Republicans’ Epstein Cover-up.



My graphic, not Indivisible's though they are free to use it!

IF YOU HAVE A GOP REPRESENTATIVE:

Email your Republican Member of Congress now. Urge them to publicly call on Mike Johnson to seat Adelita Grijalva and stop hiding the Epstein Files.

Refusing to seat a duly elected Member of Congress -- all to help Trump hide evidence in the Epstein case -- is a massive scandal, and we need to make sure it’s treated like one!

Vulnerable House Republicans don’t want to be seen aiding and abetting the Epstein Cover-up. So far, their unconscionable choice not to seat Grijalva has largely flown under the radar, but we can turn up the heat.

Please help get Adelita Grijalva sworn in ASAP by emailing your Republican representative, if you have one. And use our social media toolkit to sound the alarm online!

In solidarity,

they refuse to seat ANY elected Retrumplican until this House member from Arizona is sworn in.

I am tired of being the only fucking party that plays by the rules.

Blue state governors ought to start revoking business licenses for ANY fucking corporation that gave a fucking penny to the fascist Retrumplican Party.

And....

Why in the fuck are there still Reich-Wing radio stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Albuquerque, Portland, Norfolk, Richmond, Raleigh, Charlotte, Charleston, Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans, Jackson, Nashville, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, etc.,

Anyone who thinks we are going to fix this shitshow with elections is fucking delusional.
