Where are the Democrats? WE ARE THE DEMOCRATS!

We are the ones we are looking for. I have no doubt that our elected officials are doing everything in their power. The rest is up to us. Many times I have heard elected officials say "We can't do anything without being contacted/authorized by the people in our districts".

Step 1: Contact your congressperson to talk about impeachment.

Step 2: Contact every other member of the House and Senate to express your concerns about the actions of Trump. All you really have to write is 1 letter and send it 535 times. Preferably by snail mail.


I would not ask you to do this if I had not done it myself. Years ago I was unemployed for 18 months. 6 months unemployment was not enough. In desperation I emailed the House and sent letters to the entire Senate. Amazingly, I got letters back from Senators in other states. Not all of them, of course, but I was not expecting that.

HERE'S THE POINT. Imagine you are a US Senator and your office tells you they are getting 10-20,000 letters per day. They are going to freak out. And they are going to realize something is very very wrong because this does not happen.
