As an active member of the Democratic party, I have been quite frustrated for some time now about the seeming reticence of house speaker Nancy Pelosi to begin a formal impeachment inquiry on Donald Trump. While I understand many think she was attempting to play political strategy worrying that impeachment proceedings might incite the good old boys network controlling the Republican party to double down on its fund raising efforts for the upcoming 2020 election (and it still might), myself and a majority of Democratic voters disagreed and felt it more imperative to stop this vile person from demeaning any further the oath of office of the president of the united states.
I have made phone calls, sent emails , even snail mail, and volunteered several hours of my time on my party's behalf attempting to further our beliefs of keeping our government about empowering ALL the people, not just a chosen few. I believe one must be willing to get up and get the message out instead of sitting in front of the TV bemoaning the state of the nation.
I joined several thousand fellow democrats in bombarding speaker Pelosi with emails. Below is a copy of the last email I sent a few days ago.
"Dear Speaker Pelosi,
I'm a 58 year old mother of 2 and a liberal democrat living in the rural south in a county where Republicans out number Democrats 3 to 1 and even the "good ole boys" here are now asking why in the world are you holding off on impeachment proceedings?
The vast majority of your own electorate, the people who helped put you in office, are beside themselves with frustration and downright anger over your reticence to begin proceedings against this poor excuse for a commander in chief.
This disgusting, racist, homophobic, misogynistic excuse for a human being has so maligned the office of president that it will be a long time coming and will take a very strong moral leader to right this situation. We are the laughing stock of the world because of Trump.
He can sexually assault women, spew racist and homophobic vitriol and even collude with foreign leaders to influence our elections as well as with holding promised aid in an attempt to blackmail a foreign entity to help cast suspicion on a former vice president who has done nothing wrong, when it is merely an attempt on his part to muddy the waters and draw attention away from his multitude of misdeeds.
I implore you begin impeachment proceedings immediately. It is what the people want!!!!
Sincerely,
An extremely concerned citizen."
Late this afternoon, house speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the house would begin a formal impeachment inquiry on Mr Trump. Although it is only the first step, it is one long past due, and a chance for the united States of America to regain it's morality as well as the respect we once had from the rest of the world.
I truly believe that one voice,, no matter how inconsequential it may seem can make a difference when we refuse to be silenced.
