We watch as Trump makes his final sprint toward absolute power. We yell and point fingers and say HE CAN'T DO THAT! Yet nothing is being done to stop him!

What will it take for @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @RepAdamSchiff @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats to pull

the trigger on impeachment?

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke

This must be the time for resolute action, regardless of political fallout. We DEMAND that Congress immediately push forward with impeachment of a man

who is intent on destroying the legal and moral fabric of our hallowed nation. IT IS WRITTEN IN BOLD LETTERS FOR ALL TO SEE! Good men sat aside when Hitler made his final bold moves to seize power in Germany, not imagining the blackness in his heart. Not contemplating that he

would unleash the hounds of hell against his own people. Then it was too late. With cruel intent and a God complex, he crushed any dissent with death and torture. The people were too weak to mount a defense, so they joined in the nationalistic fervor, turning their backs on

decency, emboldened by Hitler's loud, brash, hateful speech.

This is happening in America, right now! Immediate action is the only way out of this swirling spiral that is taking the nation to a dictatorship, controlled by untold riches in the hands of a select oligarchy.

I am not a political genius, but it seems crystal clear that his is happening in real time. If Congress fails to beat back this monster, to seize it by the throat, to chain it down, to remove its claws and fangs, and to cast it out, then we will have failed the American people,

and permitted the annihilation of the most successful Democracy in human history. I feel so powerless, sitting alone tapping keys, while I witness the fall of our nation. Corrupt republicans sit mute - willing participants in the destruction of our dear republic.

The only hope to push back the dark tide engulfing us lies with the Democrats in the House. With their ruling majority, they hold the last tenuous thread for freedom in America. This time, the impeachment articles practically write themselves, with the CV-19 campaign of depraved

indifference to human life for political gain, unleashing a genocidal loss of life. I propose that is actual treason, a capital crime. Lesser charges of corruption, bribery and obstruction of justice litter the Mueller Report, which is a testament to systematic corruption.

Indeed, this foul man must be held to account, in a very public manner, for his massive violations of public trust, and unspeakable damage to the nation's collective soul.

A COLLECTIVE PLEA FROM WE THE PEOPLE:
We call on the Democratic Congress to save us from certain doom

perpetrated by an unhinged tyrant. Impeach Trump now, before our precious freedoms are sucked into the black hole of authoritarianism, and the light of hope is extinguished, only to be replaced with a deeply divided, hateful public, pitted against each other, heavily armed and

seeking retribution for perceived harms caused by the other.

It really is that black and white. Impeachment, or a plunge into totalitarianism. Removal of a malignant tyrant, or allowing his malignancy to metastasize across the land. The resurgence of balanced government, or

the complete loss of it, with all power concentrated in one man.

If the Democrats do not step up with strong voices, like those men who dared to challenge the British King and establish our bold experiment in Democracy, then they will go down in history as cowards, unwilling

to challenge a tyrant that rose from within our borders, that brought the ruination of a once proud nation. God help us if that is your choice. @robreiner @StephenKing @SteveSchmidtSES @TheDemCoalition @DNCWarRoom @BidenWarRoom @DNC @JimCarrey @LeoDiCaprio @Rosie @SethAbramson
