ACTION ITEM #2
Sign up for the Trump Defense Team special email group if you haven’t already! Especially on the days where there are hearings, we are sending out information from the White House and the GOP that is very important, and one of the only ways we have of getting the truth out, past the mainstream media.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are a statewide or local elected official or group leader, please use this form to sign up for emails geared toward leaders: https://forms.gle/awhdepNFx7jZKejM9
If you aren’t a leader, be sure to email or text statewide and local elected officials and other statewide and local leaders of groups (tea party groups, other conservative/likeminded groups) to ask them to join the Trump Defense Team coalition and serve as rapid responders next week. We’ve written templates that you can use to invite them to join. Just copy and paste the email or text message templates listed below.
Are you currently doing media, sending email updates to your list, giving speeches, answering questions for people in your network, or sharing information on social media to help fight impeachment?
If so, may I add you the Fight Impeachment Now/Trump Defense Team so we can act as a force multiplier for Republicans on Capitol Hill as they fight the impeachment effort over the next few weeks? You can simply go to https://forms.gle/BiHiLX42gp5EfBmy8 to sign up. Give my name as the person who referred you. Thank you!
Dear ___ELECTED OFFICIAL NAME____, OR Dear ___STATE, DISTRICT, OR LOCAL LEADER____,
Are you currently doing media, sending email updates to your list, giving speeches, answering questions for people in your network, or sharing information on social media to help fight impeachment?
As the House begins public hearings, those Congressmen and Senators fighting to defend the President will urgently need our help. You know that President Trump and the Republicans in Congress cannot count on the mainstream media to get the full story and truth out. They need you and others like you across the country to amplify the truth that the President’s defenders on Capitol Hill are working so hard to get out to the American people. You have the unique ability to do this not only through your networks (email, social media, local groups, etc.) but also with your ability to reach state and local media through earned media.
Members of Congress have asked our coalition to help them fight AGAINST impeachment and recruit rapid responders to spread the facts and correct misinformation to our networks and through earned media. Will you please join the Fight Impeachment Now/Trump Defense Team coalition so that we can act as a force multiplier for their actions?
As a member of the coalition, you will have access to behind the scenes updates from Capitol Hill, frequent and timely news articles and op-eds relevant to fighting impeachment, and the ability to share your posts, articles, op-eds for others to cross-promote. The coalition will communicate with you through email, text messages, and Capitol Hill briefings via conference calls.
Will you please join today so we are ready to help Republicans in Congress fight next week as the hearings begin?
NOTE: Some people may want to join the coalition in their individual capacity rather than with their group, or may not have a group, or may want to join without formally and publicly listing their names. It is acceptable to join either individually or without listing your name or group name publicly.
Please join the coalition by filling out this form https://forms.gle/RDQdwk8XjNKScgah7. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Kevin Mooneyhan (copied here, c: 904-710-5441), Keli Carender (copied here, c: 202-370-9842), or me directly (c: 404-285-5853).
PS: If you know other elected officials in your state who would like to participate in the coalition, please forward this email to them. We are looking for leaders and heads of organizations (state groups too, not just national) and current and former elected officials.

ACTION ITEM #3
We need to call these 31 “moderate” members of Congress because they represent districts that voted for President Trump in 2016, and the voters still support him now. They need to be held accountable for their willingness to go along with the most extreme and radical elements of their party. Additionally, Nancy Pelosi doesn’t have the votes for impeachment without them, so putting pressure on them either shuts down impeachment, or lays the groundwork for the voters in those districts to hold them accountable next year.
If you are a constituent of one of these members, make sure to mention that when you call. If you are not, and they usually will ask, just tell them that while not a constituent, they are trying to impeach the President, which absolutely affects you.
When you call, simply tell the person who answers the phone:
“Hello, my name is [Your Name]. I’m calling to express my opposition to this impeachment sham and to urge this member of Congress to oppose it as well.”
Feel free to add other comments, but that is the key information too relay to the staffer.

Rep. Andy Biggs: The Pelosi-Schiff impeachment farce has no respect for due process
Earlier this week, Rep. Denny Heck, a Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, told reporters that Republicans “are darn lucky these [hearings/depositions] weren’t public.” Implication: The information coming out is horrifically damaging to President Trump. Reality: If the information was truly damaging to Trump, Democrats would hold open hearings and would have already released transcripts of the testimonies….

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) announcement today of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump (R-N.Y.), Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks President, commented: “From day one, far-left members of the House Democratic Caucus have called for the impeachment of President Trump. Every single accusation made against him has proven to be false,…
Democrats Are Setting Bad Precedent With Impeachment Hearings
Well, after months of back-and-forth, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has finally caved to the radical base of the Democrat Party and authorized a formal Inquiry of Impeachment. Or, maybe not. It was less than one month ago that the House Judiciary Committee actually did approve a resolution, strictly along party lines,…
Club For Growth Action Launches Impeachment Ads In Four Democratic House Districts
Club for Growth has launched digital advertisements in four key Congressional Districts. The ads will run in CA-45, IL-14, NM-02, and VA-07 and ask voters to contact their Representatives in the U.S. House to stop supporting the phony impeachment process and instead start solving problems. The four districts all have freshman Democratic representatives who flipped seats previously held by Republicans in 2018….
Joe Biden's conflict of interest
The day former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter accepted a position on the board of directors of a Ukrainian energy company and the vice president did not announce to the rest of the Obama administration that he was recusing himself from all matters relating to Ukraine was the day Joe Biden created the conflict of interest that could, ultimately, deny him the presidency.
It doesn’t matter whether or not Hunter Biden’s “work” as a director of Burisma Holdings was tainted by corruption….
Impeachment Obsession Overload
They tried Russiagate. Then they tried obstruction. Now, House Dems are calling foul on a whistleblower complaint that lacks any evidence of quid pro quo. But as Rowan Scarborough of the Washington Times points out, they aren’t so squeaky clean on Ukraine.
House Democrats' Thirst for Impeachment Raises More Process Concerns
On Tuesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that the House of Representatives would launch a formal inquiry into whether grounds exist to impeach President Donald Trump. The short speech lacked substance or any indication as to what the next steps would be in the process or whether anything will change at all….
Adam Schiff Should Be Censured for His Media Statements
Rep. Adam Schiff’s behavior as President Trump’s chief antagonist has gone so far over the top that he has violated the rules of the House of Representatives. His violations are so egregious that it’s time to sanction him and remove him from his position as chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. To that end, I recently filed a formal complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics, demanding that the office launch an official investigation….

The ill-advised rush to impeachment
More and more, on the issue of impeachment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her House Democrats are so far out over the tips of their skis that they remind me of Vinko Bogotaj.

House Judiciary's Sham "Impeachment Inquiry" Violates House Rules and Any Notion of Due Process
On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee will consider a resolution that would establish the parameters of an impeachment investigation against President Donald Trump. The resolution is far outside the norm in the modern practice of impeachment in the House of Representatives. Essentially, Democrats on the committee are launching pseudo-impeachment inquiry without any authorization to do so. For more information on the history of impeachment, see Presidential Impeachment in History and Procedure, published by FreedomWorks in March 2019….
Pelosi Complaint
On Wednesday, October 30, 2019, we filed an official ethics complaint about Speaker Nancy Pelosi with the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) along with dozens of like-minded organizations.
In the complaint, we argue that Speaker Pelosi has violated the Official Code of Conduct of the House of Representatives through a pattern of abuse of power, demonstrating that she is unfit to continue to serve as Speaker of the House.
Please take a few minutes to read through the details and evidence documented in the complaint. If you would like to sign on to the complaint, please fill out the signature form at the bottom.
MAKE SCHIFF RESIGN PETITION
On October 8, 2019, Tea Party Patriots Action filed an official complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics to request an investigation into Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and his multiple violation(s) of House Rule XXIII.
Rep. Schiff has:
- Lied to the public and to the media about his role and that of the staff of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence with the “whistleblower,” denying that he and the majority staff had met with the whistleblower. Those statements were false.
- Fabricated testimony to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and only when caught, attempted to excuse his lie by brushing it off as “parody,” as though parody is now an accepted form of evidence.
- Previously used and abused his position on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to seek damaging and negative information about President Trump from Ukrainian sources, including the use of House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence staff to seek such materials.
Sign the petition now if you think that Adam Schiff should be censured by the House of Representatives, should be removed from his Intel committee chairmanship, and must resign from Congress immediately as a result of his lies and violations of House rules, as well as his continued efforts to exploit his access to power to pursue his own personal, political agenda!
We launched the Trump Defense Team in order to push back against Nancy Pelosi’s decision to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump. This revelation is absolutely absurd, because just like in the Russia hoax, President Trump did nothing wrong.
In fact, President Trump was simply trying to get to the bottom of the corruption that led to the Russia hoax and the interference by government officials in the 2016 election, and now the Democrats are pushing impeachment hard. This is President Trump trying to drain the swamp and the Democrats trying to impeach him for it. It’s time for us to stand up and fight back! Sign the Petition and send the message to Congress that we support President Trump.

SAMPLE SCRIPT
Use this to call your Representative (whether Dem or GOP!).
Hi, my name is [Your Name] and I live in [City, State] and I am a constituent. I’m calling to demand Representative [Name] boldly oppose the impeachment of President Trump. The majority of Americans are absolutely sick of Democrats trying to undo the 2016 election.
Adam Schiff literally fabricated parts of the President’s call transcript, but led everyone to believe that he was reading from the actual transcript. When he was caught, he claimed it was parody. Is parody now allowed as evidence?
Nancy Pelosi has totally abandoned the tradition and rules of the House by not allowing the full House to vote yes or no on the impeachment inquiry, so now Americans have no idea where their elected Representatives stand.
This so-called impeachment inquiry is a farce and will damage our nation for a long time if allowed to go through. Put a stop to this NOW. I will make sure to keep track of how my Representative behaves and votes on this issue. Thank you.
