Impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors
Republicans in Congress swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath requires them to carry out oversight of the Executive and, if necessary, remove from office any president guilty misconduct including abuse of authority, self-dealing, misuse of assets, dereliction of duty, or treason.
Republicans are in breach of that oath.
Republicans are in breach of that oath.
Why is this important?
President Trump’s transgressions extend beyond incompetence; they are rooted in motivations that are transparently contrary to the values expressed in our nation’s Constitution. Collusion by House Republicans makes a mockery of the system of checks and balances our Founding Fathers envisioned and installed to protect our democracy. Every day Donald Trump remains in office stands as a repudiation of our system of governance and proud heritage of rule of law.
Mike Coffman, Paul Ryan, and other Trump allies continue to back Trump at every turn. Even after his district sent a clear message by voting for Hillary Clinton with a 9 margin over Trump, Coffman has supported trump over 93% of the time.
When those we’ve elected betray our trust and their oath of office, it falls to citizens to step into the breach.
We don’t have time to wait for a Democratic Congress to hold Trump accountable. Unless and until he is removed from office, Trump will continue to do immense damage to our country. Coffman has proven countless times that he will change his positions to protect his own skin, such as when he vocally supported Republican’s move to take healthcare away from millions of Americans to pay for another tax cut for the 1%, only to vote against it when Paul Ryan said he could.
In general, such naked self-interest is not to be applauded. But if Coffman’s true north is survival and if his constituents can convince him that his political survival depends on standing up to Trump before 2018, we certainly should. Anything that keeps more people from being harmed by Trump’s reckless policies is a victory for Americans.
Since Coffman has proven he’s willing to do the right thing so long as he’s not expected to show actual leadership, I’ve worked with a team of legal experts to make it easy for him. We’ve assembled articles of impeachment and easy to follow step-by-step instructions that will allow Coffman and other Republicans to perform their constitutional duty and remove Donald Trump from office.
We’ve done the hard work, all Coffman and other Republicans need to do is uphold their oath to America’s Constitution.

3) Publicly call for Paul Ryan to bring these articles to the House floor for a vote [you need to do this one yourself]
A simple majority vote by the House will initiate a trial.
President Trump is operating outside the boundaries of ethics and law. His conspiracy-addled civic nihilism is at odds with the sober bedrock of idealism and progress, upon which our country was founded. Any clear-eyed citizen committed to seeing the world as it is rather than through the warped lens of partisan ideology must admit: Trump’s actions and associations during the campaign have breached innumerable ethical norms, traditional standards, and laws; the barriers erected by our forbearers to preserve civility, decency and the democratic order in our republic.
Fortunately, Trump does not represent the collective will of the American people. Three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump in the 2016 election. No doubt, Trump would lose election today in a crushing defeat. But that is cold comfort. Instead, he must be removed from office.
Fealty to the law and to public decency demands his removal. By providing the necessary documents, we’re making it easy. The crimes are clear. The public is disgusted. The articles of impeachment are written.
The only missing ingredient is leadership.
