1. It should not matter which way an organization leans

If they lean toward breaking the law they should be investigated. Like President Dump was with his businesses.

2. We CAN end this insanity. It's a moral imperative that we get to work, seriously, to elect Pro-Impeachment candidates.

Win or lose, it is the remedy the Constitution gives us and it is the right thing to do.

We need an all out effort to get commitments on impeachment and removal from the candidates that are declared. If they won't commit, we need to find candidates who will commit.

Pro-Impeachment candidates, whether they be Republican primary challengers, or Independents, or Democrats. If a candidate will not declare their support for impeachment, the electorate for the office needs to get ENGAGED and find a candidate who will.

Yes, Democrats must run on a bold vision for America, but that bold vision begins with Impeaching and Removing 47 and his co-conspirator Vance in 2027.

And if it takes a Pro-Impeachment Republican to beat an Anti-Impeachment Republican in a Republican stronghold, then we need to get onboard, even if that person advocates other policies we vehemently disagree with.

Step one. We must seek to END this regime.

And we must give the electorate HOPE that it CAN be ended in 2027.

The goal MUST be impeaching and removing 47 and his co-conspirator Vance.

It is the only response to the magnitude of the abuses and usurpations. To call for anything less is to concede that it is "not that bad."

3. More persecution and prosecution

He's trying to cut off all Democratic funding. I don't see how this is legal at all.
