"Hours before the House votes on whether to impeach President Donald Trump, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Times Square Tuesday night chanting "Tell me who's above the law? Nobody is above the law!"

"They weren't alone. Rallies sprang up from Oregon to Florida on the eve of the vote on two articles of impeachment against Trump, charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of justice. Democrats say Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rivals in exchange for security aid and that he obstructed a congressional investigation by refusing to allow key officials to testify."

"Demonstrators in Times Square lined up to stretch a sign for those above them to read. It quoted Article II Section 4 of the Constitution: The president, vice president and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

"In Saint Paul, Minnesota, a crowd gathered to carol but changed the words to the familiar "We wish you a merry Christmas." "We wish you would leave the White House, some time by New Year," they sang together."

2. Sounds like people are FED UP

and since the Senate Republicans refuse to remove him in the Senate hearing we can plan to REMOVE HIM at the "ballot box" in 2020.

5. ITMFA!

Sure felt good to be in a crowd of patriots last night; the chanting to impeach felt very cathartic. Even in the freezing weather!

6. When I return home after attending a protest

my adrenaline is rushing for hours. It's very empowering and uplifting as well as a good release of pent up frustration.

7. I was at the rally in Puyallup last night.

We got a lot of happy horn-honking, a lot of cheers and thumbs-up from rush-hour motorists, and a few defiant "TRUMP 2020!" shouts. I shouted after one of them "How about 20 to life?"

Everyone was very encouraged by the turnout.

8. I'm glad that the media let people know about these protests.

Often they give them very little, if any, time on TV news.

9. I demonstrated with 300 people in downtown Charlottesville Virginia last night.

Great signs, great people, passersby loved it.
