Opposition to the January 6 Insurrection

1/14/2021

2 Comments

 
The Polk County Democratic Party stands in strenuous opposition to everything connected with the violent mob that overran our nation's Capitol building and threatened the lives of our duly elected representatives, and sought to overturn the results of a free and fair election. One of those who helped encourage the mob was our own newly-elected Representative Madison Cawthorn. What follows is a statement we sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on January 12:

​Dear Speaker Pelosi,

I am the chair of the Polk County, NC Democratic Party, which is located in our state's 11th Congressional District. We believe that our representative, Madison Cawthorn, breached his oath of office by encouraging and inciting the riotous mob that overran and looted the Capitol Building, disrupted the lawful business of Congress, and endangered your life and the lives of your colleagues. The Polk County Democratic Party urges you to initiate an investigation into Mr. Cawthorn's actions and, if sufficient grounds are found, to expel him as a Member of the United States House of Representatives.

Thank you for considering this request. We wish you and your colleagues safety and wisdom as you help steer the country through this perilous time.

Respectfully,
Andy Millard
Chair, Polk County Democratic Party

Thank you so much for this Andy. I have been calling Cawthorn's Washington office on a regular basis this week. Have spoken with two different aides. Also posting to his FB page. Also calling and writing Jake to ask what, specifically, he is doing to ensure Raleigh remains safe and peaceful. Let me know if you have any specific talking points or suggestions for concerned citizens like myself at this horrible time. Thanks again, Liz

I, too, have been actively pursuing his removal from office. I invite others to write, email, call... our senators, Nancy Pelosi, the Ethics committee ..... anyone....that might be of influence/power who can assist in Madison Cawthorn"s expulsion.
