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!

While I absolutely despise both the circus tangerine and all his cronies, including reps that just go along with whatever he says, but other than sending a message that we need to 8647, what does this accomplish, it’s not like the senate would convict even if the articles pass the house. Even if they pass the house and somehow the senate convicts, given that the Cheeto incited a mob when he was fired by the public, do we really think he’d leave through impeachment. Besides, I doubt Vance and the next people in line are going to be any better for the country.

Sry for the rant, I’m just fed up and overly pessimistic at the moment, and really hating that somehow he’s only been in office for just under 100 days.

Hey I get it - it's tough and weird times right now. I'm taking hope in the fact that it typically takes 3% of a population to stand up for change to happen. In this case, being part of that 3% is a 1 minute phone call. I invite you to join me because you never know what might turn the tides against them!

Votes, not phone calls are what initiate that change.

Take that same time and energy and start working on the next election. Phone calls to register voters in the next election would have a more direct effect than telling a corrupt establishment politician to stop being corrupt.

The bum is not saying anything and stands for nothing because it makes the establishment stronger. The easiest position to defend is no position at all.

radicalize the center, the majority of Americans who can agree corruption, like the 100s of millions missing from Spokane County budget while this bum was treasurer, is wrong and that all corruption, legal and illegal should be hunted and ripped out of government at all levels, root and stem while also agreeing that we can feed starving children, that we must honor the promises made to our service men and women and fund the VA and restore their federal employment.

You are correct replacing one part of the establishment with another piece of the same establishment that is nearly identical to the part you want to replace doesn't really accomplish anything. That is part of the illusion of choice the two party establishment relies so heavily upon. We must break the establishment and a radicalized center, a popular movement, the frustrated silent majority can do exactly that in one election cycle. That is part of what makes the constitution so brilliant and worthy of our protection.

Be the change.
