Friend, Today, President Trump signed legislation that adds sweeping new sanctions against Moscow and empowers Congress to block the West Wing from scaling them back. Your support was critical to making it happen. Though the Trump administration repeatedly lobbied Republican leaders to weaken the legislation, the House and Senate ultimately passed a strong bill with bipartisan support. Thank you to the thousands of you who signed petitions, made phone calls and penned letters to Speaker Paul Ryan, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other GOP leaders. Strong bipartisan majorities—along with an expanding probe into Trump's questionable relationship with Russian emissaries—left him no choice but to sign this bill into law. Today’s victory represents a real, tangible accomplishment for the Stand Up Republic network. It also sends a clear message to hostile governments around the world: actions against the United States won't go unanswered. Friend, take a few moments to reflect on the substantial organizing and advocacy movement you’re building. This is a significant milestone in our growing movement, but we must continue to hold our elected leaders accountable. Your voice helped us shore up our nation’s security and defend our democracy from future attack. Thank you. Onward! — Evan

White House sources report Trump called and spoke with Putin before he signed the sanctions bill. No doubt, Trump promised not to enforce the sanctions.
