I write to you as a citizen and constituent to ask that Congress impeach Donald Trump now. Impeachment is the remedy for treason, bribery & other high crimes and misdemeanours. Since his inauguration, Trump has attacked the constitution. He has usurped Congress's power of appropriations. He has attacked our constitutional rights, including the first amendment. He has issued executive orders like a King making proclamations; his orders subvert the constitution and the rule of law. He has thus betrayed his oath to see that the laws be faithfully executed-- not once but continually. He has also betrayed our allies and given succour to our foes. Our patient sufferance of the abuses of his administration is exhausted. The long list of possible charges of impeachment echoes the bill of indictment of the 13 colonies against King George III: The history of the 47th president is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. Trump has taken actions as if a dictator: he has usurped the powers of Congress, betrayed his oath to faithfully execute his office. Among his many assaults on the constitution he has He has denied and violated the right of the People of the United States to freedom of speech, and of assembly, and to petition the government for redress of grievances, by embarking on a wide-ranging censorship campaign to punish his political opponents, chill opposition, and illegally retaliate against constitutionally protected speech, association, and expression. He has threatened senators and representatives, judges, lawyers; he has threatened our closest allies and neighbors with acts of aggression and territorial acquisition that violate international law; he has stated that he intends to violate the 22nd amendment which establishes term limits for presidents. Your oath to defend and uphold the constitution requires you to act against these flagrant and persistent violations
