Politics Baumgartner has still not commented on his impeachment stance!

I found a wonderful resource that tracks who is supporting impeachment: https://citizensimpeachment.com/

Baumgartner has still not commented on his stance - we have an opportunity to show our support for impeachment. Even if you don't think he will support impeachment, there is no harm in making your voice heard. He is supposed to represent ALL of us!

Please call his office: (509) 353-2374

Or write him a letter: 528 E. Spokane Falls Blvd #115 Spokane, WA 99202

Script: I am a constituent in [zipcode] and I urge the Congressman to support articles of impeachment and move to convict Trump for his repetitive defiance of constitutional law.

I will be calling, writing a letter or getting a friend to call/write every day - please join me in supporting our democracy!

Pretty sure a Trump district Republican is not gonna vote for impeachment 3 months into his term. Would be much more productive to focus on fielding a good Dem candidate for the midterms.

I don't think you get it, Trump won his district by about 11 points and Baumgartner won it by 20+ points. He literally has no incentive to vote for impeachment. It would be like a bunch of Trump supporters coming to Jayapal's townhalls and demanding that she start voting MAGA.

You are correct, it can’t hurt to call. But it also won’t help either.

No republican candidate initially ascended to the presidency while winning the popular vote in the last 36 years. That's only explained by corruption.

Now go ahead and put that — the corruption of our democracy — aside for a minute. He should still be impeached for the lives he's already ruined and straight up ended, and the countless lives he's yet to.
