Your Representative needs to hear from you that you support impeachment, regardless of party.
Friend,
The majority of the House of Representatives have finally seen enough, and so have we. For only the fourth time in our nation’s history, articles of impeachment have been drafted against a sitting president. Impeachment is a somber power that should never be entered into lightly. Sadly, our nation now finds itself in need of this constitutional remedy.
The articles center around two charges:
1.
Abuse
of
Power:
That
Donald
Trump
abused
his
power
as
president
to
force
a
foreign
government
to
manufacture
dirt
against
a
political
opponent
in
order
to
help
his
reelection
campaign.
And
that
in
doing
so,
he
damaged
American
interests
by
threatening
and
extorting
a
friendly
nation,
and
jeopardized
national
security
by
willfully
subjecting
our
elections
to
foreign
attack
and
interference.
2.
Obstruction
of
Justice:
That
Donald
Trump
obstructed
Congress’
lawful,
constitutional
authority
to
investigate
his
actions.
By
openly
forbidding
any
White
House
officials
from
cooperating
with
the
investigation,
and
ordering
government
officials
to
withhold
documents
and
communications
related
to
Congressional
oversight,
he
put
his
self-preservation
above
the
Constitution
in
a
way
that
undermines
an
equal
branch
of
government
and
violates
his
oath
of
office.
The sad reality is that these articles of impeachment, while not exhaustive, are more than justified by the evidence presented to the American people to date. And the ongoing threat his schemes present to the country make impeachment an imperative.
Even now, with hearings into his corruption concluded and articles announced, his personal attorney and political operative, Rudy Giuliani, is in Ukraine pursuing the same corrupt ends that started this inquiry. He won’t stop, even after every witness testified that the Ukraine plot was unprecedented and destructive to American interests.
But what’s more alarming than this one scheme is the pattern of lawless and self-serving behavior that this president has exhibited from the start. How many other corrupt designs are ongoing or planned for the future? If the president would use aid to Ukraine -- a nation at war for it’s very survival -- to benefit himself, what wouldn’t he do to cement his own power?
John, this is about protecting the independence of our elections, and ensuring the president cannot abuse his office to secure his own power. There is no more fundamental issue to the preservation of American democracy.
That’s why we need your voice now. Your Representative needs to hear from you that you support impeachment, regardless of party.
In just five minutes, you can stand up for our democracy in three ways:
Call [[link removed]] - Flood their office phone lines with support for the articles of impeachment.
Email [[link removed]] - Fill their inboxes with messages demanding their support for impeachment.
Sign your Name [[link removed]] - Show them the numbers are on the side of accountability and impeachment by signing our petition of support.
Our Constitution and our elections demand constant vigilance. But too many are willing to sit and watch while they are attacked both by foreign governments and by a sitting president. It’s up to us to change that, by proving that the American people will stand up for the rule of law and democracy.
The House’s articles of impeachment are far from a full accounting of all that Trump has done to betray the American people. But it is more than enough to justify the impeachment of the president. So let’s all stand up in support of these articles, and demand that our elected Representatives do the same.
