I just called my rural California GOP Congressman's office. I asked the staffer if they receive many calls asking for

the Congressman to support impeachment or to use the 25th Amendment to have Trump removed from office.

After a good long pause, she said "Yes, we do."

I said "Please add me to that list. Trump is insane, people do not want this war and sending ground troops to Iran is crazy. Thank you, bye."

I bet a good portion of them have changed their minds since they started this term. They are probably lifer repugs, but, maybe they can be a little better repug when they get their chance at the White House.

Even more important to let them know!

Remember: they need YOUR vote, too.

And they know that if they’re helpful to you, you just might vote for them next time, despite your not being a Republican.

When your fellow Republicans open an ethics investigation on your corrupt ass...

I'd call his local Port Orange office daily - until I used the 'nazi' reference they'd answer and apologize for "my feeling that way". Now I only get an answering machine.

It is the president's cabinet that has to invoke the amendment.
