From the beginning of his descent to the Oval Office, I opposed talk
of impeachment of Donald Trump.
But today my mind has been changed. And that change comes from one
source, and one source alone. Donald Trump.
We need to outplace Donald Trump, if for no other reason than to send
a message to other "Reality Actors" that we will no longer dance to
their Piper's tunes. But remember, Mike Pence will not solve our
nation's problems. Mike Pence *Is part of Working American's
problems.
Only we, the real American People have the power to make a meaningful change.
Nothing less than impeachment is needed to drive that message home.

IMPEACH!

It is time to remove this dangerous man from office.
I have just signed the

"Need To Impeach" petition initiated by Tom Steyer of California. Over two
million other Americans have also signed it. And that number keeps growing
every hour. We -- all of us -- must not wait a minute longer to act.
Trump has sent a fleet of our ships into the waters off North Korea in order
to provoke the unhinged leader of that country to make the mistake of
attacking us. This, plus Trump's reckless taunts at Kim Jong-un, is being
done for one reason: to start some sort of conflict so that America will
rally behind him and forget about the impending criminal indictments he, his
family and his cohorts now face. He has put us all in danger, and he may get
a lot of people killed.
The Founders of this country were worried that, from time to time, we would
have a President who would behave in such a manner that would put our nation
in jeopardy, or a President who would try to profit off being in office, or
a Commander-in-Chief who might not be right in the head (King George III
gave them a good example of that). They feared we could end up with a
President who might be a traitor to our country. They even knew that we
might get stuck with someone who committed not just "high crimes" but also
"misdemeanors." They wanted to make it easy for us to fix a mistake we've
made.
My friends, we have the most colossal mistake in our history sitting right
now in the Oval Office. And there is only one way to rectify it: TRUMP MUST
BE IMPEACHED. We can NOT wait until November of 2020 for that to happen. We
simply won't make it til then. The country we know as the United States of
America will not be the same after three more years of Trump. You know it
and I know it. Turning the TV off and trying to avoid the daily insanity
won't make him go away.
Donald J. Trump has proven himself to be completely unfit for office, a
threat to our country and an imminent danger to this world.
He is also not well. He is a malignant narcissist and an active sociopath.
Because he holds the codes to, on his own, launch nuclear weapons, he is a
singular threat to humanity.
He has no fidelity to this country, to the constitution or to his oath of
office.
He tried to coerce the director of the FBI into ending the investigation of
him -- and when the director wouldn't, Trump fired him. It's only a matter
of time before he fires the Special Prosecutor.
He has lied about his finances, his campaign’s dealings with Russia and
just about everything else that has come out of his mouth. It is stunning to
see how many untruths he speaks in a single day (

this site keeps track of all of them on a daily basis).
But here's something even more stunning than Trump's high crimes and
misdemeanors:
NOT ONE Democrat in the U.S. Senate has stood on that floor and called for
his impeachment! Not one! Rep. Maxine Waters and other members in the House
have not been afraid to do so. This morning, Rep. Steve Cohen was joined by
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Rep. Al Green, Rep. Marcia Fudge, Rep. John Yarmuth,
and Rep. Adriano Espaillat in

introducing five Articles of Impeachment against Trump. But no Democrat in
the Senate has yet to say this man must be impeached!
This petition I'm asking you to sign isn't just a challenge to the
Republicans to clean house, it is a demand to the Democratic elected
officials you and I voted for to DO THEIR JOB. Many of these Democrats have
even said they are opposed to impeachment. They need to hear from us! Now!
If recent history has proven anything, it's that Democrats only act when we
tell them to.
When you were opposed to George W. Bush getting ready to start a massive
war in Iraq (when Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11), the majority of
Democratic Senators voted to send us to war. Most didn't change their votes
until the citizenry went to the polls in the Democratic primaries in 2008
and rejected the Democratic candidate for President who had voted FOR the
war. These Democratic candidates became anti-war because of YOU.
For decades, when you believed our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters
should be able to get married, the establishment Democrats (including the
Clintons and Obamas) said NO and used their religion as an excuse to say
that marriage can only be between a man and a woman. Only when the polls
showed that a majority of Americans backed this basic civil right did
Democratic leaders begin to "evolve."
Although the majority of Americans have favored a single-payer universal
health care system for some time -- Medicare for All -- it took until last
month for 16 Democratic Senators to finally back such a bill.
The cautious and often-frightened Democratic leaders will usually,
eventually, finally come around and do the right thing. And they do so
because they are good at (sooner or later) listening to the will of the
people.
That's why they need to hear from you and me right now. Give them the
backbone and support they're looking for. Sign the Need to Impeach petition
and let them see that the majority of us can't wait any longer to remove
this dangerous man from office.

this letter with your friends and everyone you know who loves this country.
Let's not wait until he gets us in a war to sign this petition. Let's not
wait until he turns another million acres of federal land over to the oil
companies. Let's not wait until he and Betsy DeVos dismantle what's left of
our once-admired-around-the-world public schools. Every day at his EPA, at
his ICE headquarters, at his FDA and elsewhere, his cronies are literally
taking apart our American way of life, piece by piece -- and it will take
years to rebuild after all the damage they are doing.
Can you really take one more day of this?
Please, I appeal to you, join with me and millions of your fellow Americans
and sign this impeachment petition now:
