Time to Impeach!
Well it finally happened. Speaker Pelosi has called for an impeachment inquiry on Trump. While he has committed plenty of impeachable offenses in the past, blackmailing Ukraine seems to be what pushed the House into official action. Maybe it’s because Trump actually confessed to the crime (although he changed his story shortly afterwards) and his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani is in perpetual gaffe mode on cable TV. https://www.theatlantic.com/…/trump-admits-pressuri…/598609/

Crooked Media has a nice overview of what happened yesterday. https://crooked.com/newsletters/
If you are represented by a Congressperson that has called for impeachment, contact them and thank them for it. If your Congressperson is still on the fence, (That’s you, Collin Peterson https://www.minnpost.com/…/all-minnesota-democrats-open-to…/ ) or a Republican, call today and let them know impeaching Trump is the right thing to do. The House is coming up on another recess. It seems prudent that they would skip this break and focus on defending our Constitution. While you are on the phone, why not mention that as well.
Are you wondering what impeachment actually means? Check out this video to learn more. https://www.npr.org/…/what-does-it-take-to-impeach-a-presid…

McConnell’s Election Security Bill: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing?
After stonewalling election security bills from the House, Senate Majority Leader Mitch (MoscowMitch) McConnell has agreed to add $250 million to be used by the federal government and states for election security in a way that McConnell feels in appropriate. Ahh, there’s the catch. McConnell would enable corrupt officials to buy whatever hackable, unauditable voting machines they want. We need traceable votes and back-up paper ballots.

Today, please call your Senators, as well as Sens. Schumer, Coons, and Leahy, and tell them that McConnell’s election security funding does not protect voters. They must address this issue now.

Sandy Hook Promise has come out with a new commercial. This is hard, but important to watch. Another reason we need to work our butts off to elect better people.
