Besides tweeting and arguing online?
Are you organizing locally? Coordinating voter/community education efforts? Organizing visits (and/or sit-ins) to your Member of Congress and Senators? Encouraging your friends, neighbors and co-workers to pressure their representatives? Writing letters to your local paper? Calling in to local radio shows? Trying to convince people you know to support impeachment and or electoral defeat?
If you're not, why aren't you?
It's easy to go online and complain that Congress isn't doing enough to get him out and insist that they do what you think they should do. But that, without more, is a copout.
What are YOU doing about it?

(3,344 posts)Really, the original post shows an awareness that the Impeachment Train is rolling and nothing can stop it.
So those apparently against impeachment are coming up with sillier and sillier comments.

(18,486 posts)I just think it has to be done correctly, don't believe it must be done this week or else, and refuse to bash Democrats for taking their time and proceeding methodically.

I am extremely proud of what I have accomplished together with all those fine Democrats I've had the pleasure of working with and continue to work with today.

(22,240 posts)Our democracy is under attack by a ruthless gangster who has been given
far too much power. I, personally, am frightened and disillusioned. I was a volunteer
for the Clinton campaign (and Gore and Kerry), donated money and time only to
have a treasonous criminal collude with foreign powers to literally subvert our election
process to install himself as POTUS. To say that made me angry as hell is to put it mildly.
I have been, so far, disappointed in the response I have seen to this travesty.
I am deeply afraid we are heading toward a fascist dictatorship.

(7,142 posts)but if she were to hold investigations and call them impeachment investigations we Democrats will be able to better expose all of the evidence necessary to impeach Trump.
I'm a pro impeachment person and I think we need to start impeachment soon. With that said, we need to drag out the impeachment investigations as long as it takes to make our case or until Trump has a nervous breakdown. Trump is not a strong person, he is a snowflake, he can't handle even the slightest criticism. An impeachment hearing will drive him over the edge, will cause him to make mistakes.
Bill Barr stated that he would release the redacted grand jury testimony for an impeachment hearing. There is going to be a lot more juicier information in the grand jury testimonies than what we have seen so far.
There is enough "there" there already to impeach. For those of you who aren't there yet I guarantee that a long impeachment hearing will get you there.
Just put Auntie Maxine (one of Trump's favorites) in charge of the committee and give her 12 freshmen Congresspersons, the ratings will be higher than the OJ trial.

That's the KGOP playbook for Clinton in 2016 ... those hearings didn't help with the middle

(9,212 posts)It is horrific to watch what is going down and how afraid everyone is apparently of this psycho. At some point something has to be done before it is too late. Hearings are a start but I am worried that is not going to be enough. Not fighting the w stolen election led to this ultimately I guess.

I'm asking what are YOU doing?
(I'm not singling you out - this is directed to a broader group).

(9,212 posts)Is not a good tactic to get people to do something. I assume most people here are doing something. On this issue I wrote to NP and my reps and receved replies.
