    One woman was shot to death today in the rabid and treasonous
    _takeover of our nation's Capital building_ by Trump supporters.

    The head of the National Association of Manufacturers, a group
    representing 14,000 companies in the U.S., on Wednesday called
    on Vice President Mike Pence to "seriously consider" invoking
    the 25th Amendment of the Constitution to remove President
    Donald Trump from office.

    "Armed violent protestors who support the baseless claim by
    outgoing President Trump that he somehow won an election that he
    overwhelmingly lost have stormed the U.S.  Capitol today,
    attacking police officers and first responders, because Trump
    refused to accept defeat in a free and fair election.
    Throughout this whole disgusting episode, Trump has been cheered
    on by members of his own party, adding fuel to the distrust that
    has enflamed violent anger.  This is not law and order.  This is
    chaos.  It is mob rule.  It is dangerous.  This is sedition and
    should be treated as such.  The outgoing president incited
    violence in an attempt to retain power, and any elected leader
    defending him is violating their oath to the Constitution and
    rejecting democracy in favor of anarchy.  Anyone indulging
    conspiracy theories to raise campaign dollars is complicit.
    Vice President Pence, who was evacuated from the Capitol, should
    seriously consider working with the Cabinet to invoke the 25th
    Amendment to preserve democracy.

    This is not the vision of America that manufacturers believe in
    and work so hard to defend.  Across America today, millions of
    manufacturing workers are helping our nation fight the deadly
    pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives.
    We are trying to rebuild an economy and save and rebuild lives.
    But none of that will matter if our leaders refuse to fend off
    this attack on America and our democracy - because our very
    system of government, which underpins our very way of life, will
    crumble."

    ~Jay Timmons, a former executive director of the
     National Republican Senatorial Committee

    With just 14 days until President Joe Biden takes over, our
    nation needs Trump out of the White House more than ever.
