That’s me at an impeach demo by Rep. Brad Sherman’s office last year confronting a red hat trumper. On the cover of the California section of the Sunday LA Times yesterday. Brad Sherman had just filed articles of impeachment. Tom Steyer was not leading the impeach movement yet.
We have a traitor (let alone a sexual predator, crook, etc.) in the White House. Far beyond a misdemeanor. And many of us knew this long before the Helsinski love fest. In my case, I ran into the Traitor in Chief in 1994 and we didn’t get along. The most disgusting encounter in my life.
The Constitution, Article II, Section 4: 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.
Rep. Brad Sherman announcing articles of impeachment July 7, 2017Brad Sherman started what had to start.
The Southern California trumpers sent their top troops to confront us (organized by Indivisible). I had seen these red haters at town-halls in LA. 6 patrol cars with fully equipped crews showed up very quickly. A helicopter was flying above. TV news and all sort of cameras 360. The trumpers showed up and started yelling and megaphoning us on our faces. We just stayed and kept on demonstrating. About ½ hour after they left. If you want, message me and I’ll send you a link to the MAGA hat guy’s FB page.
Rachel also loves to organize street action.Rep. Sherman joined us in the following demonstration and we made the news on many TV channels.
I took a selfie with Brad. Rachel, with her daughter, was the organizer. We had about 10 demonstrations.
It will be difficult. The November midterms are as much a pivotal point in our history as the Battle of Gettysburg. If we all do what we can, tRump will be gone before the 2020 presidential.
Katie Hill CA-25My priority is to focus on CA-25 supporting Katie Hill. A flippable district not too far. I met her last year and supported her since then.
No matter what the LA Times says, Katie is a great candidate.
The text of the article online is here; Never mind the candidates. In a key midterm contest, it's all about Trump
The 25th District has been reliably Republican for the last quarter of a century, but that’s changing as the region, long a refuge for those fleeing big-city crime and exorbitant home prices, is remade by an influx of younger, more ethnically diverse residents.
Knight, 51, is a former Los Angeles police officer and Palmdale city councilman who followed his father, Pete, into politics. He was reelected in 2016 with an underwhelming 53% support at the same time Hillary Clinton narrowly won the district. That places Knight high atop the list of Democratic targets in November.
Hill, 30, who ran a statewide nonprofit fighting homelessness, was generally seen as the strongest Democrat in the party’s multi-candidate field, given her status as a fresh face and, especially, her roots in the district, where she grew up the daughter of a nurse and a Beverly Hills police officer.
Last week was one year since Rep. Sherman filed;
xOn the one year anniversary of filing Articles of Impeachment to #ImpeachTrump, I spoke on the House floor about why no one, not Al Capone or Donald Trump, is above the law. View the video here: https://t.co/tNQ8b2UIwRpic.twitter.com/Svk7HJMl1A

Time flies when you are having fun and doing the right thing.
(BTW Rep. Sherman endorsed HRC but we are all in this together now).
A honk to impeach demo I organized nearby I’ll say it to the end.
