TRUMP IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO SEE HUNDREDS OF PROTESTS CALLING FOR PRESIDENT'S REMOVAL:

TRUMP IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO SEE HUNDREDS OF PROTESTS CALLING FOR PRESIDENT'S REMOVAL: 'NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW'

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-impeachment-rallies-planned-house-vote-1476170

"Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to attend rallies across the country to call for President Donald Trump's removal from office on the eve of a House vote that could see the U.S. leader impeached."

"Speaking to Newsweek on Monday, David Sievers, the campaign director for MoveOn, a progressive public policy advocacy group organizing the rallies with the backing of dozens of other organizations, including United We Dream, Stand Up America and the Women's March, said at least 401 demonstrations have so far been planned across 49 states."

The "Nobody's Above The Law" rallies, which expect to see more than 70,000 people combined in attendance, are planned to kick off on the eve of the House's vote on whether Trump should be impeached over alleged efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate a political rival. Sievers said some demonstrators would be heading to congressional offices across their states, while others would be rallying in public squares."

"It will look different in Miami than it will in Northern Minnesota," he said. Meanwhile, "in New York City, they'll be gathering in kind of Central Manhattan and marching." The fact that people in states with cooler temperatures, such as New York, are willing to brave the cold winter weather to protest, Sievers said, should signal "the level of civic outrage there is."

and stay in the streets, shut the country down

like those brave protesters in Hong Kong

we have lost the will and have become weak. I went through the 60's and the VNam war protests and that is when people made it matter

Just going out and marching for a couple hours and then go home and feel good about it is not what we need. I know I am sounding terrible to some people but honestly folks, marching around with banners will do jack shit.

You KNOW he won't be impeached in the Senate and then what? What the fuck will he do? Your worst nightmare can't even imagine it.
He is a Monster and he can't wait to draw blood over this.

The two leaders who were making political statements are now gone (good!) and the original founders are moving forward with the original principles and agenda.

RESIST!
