Times don't get more serious than this; it is time for the most serious of measures.
Every American generation has a moment when it is called upon to do its part to preserve the freedom and higher values of our country. This is our moment.
In the coming weeks and months you will be asked to send e-mails and automatic letters to your Members of Congress to advance the impeachment of the President and Vice President. The resulting flood will not be very effective, compared to the one effective thing you CAN do:
Write a real letter to both of your U.S.Senators, and to the U.S. House Member representing your district.
Yes, actually obtain paper, envelope, stamps and a pen and do it, even if you have never done it before. You don't have to make a midnight ride across Massachusetts on a horse; you don't have to take a position behind a split-rail fence with your old musket; you don't have to stand on a scaffold and be brave for your country. But you do have to take action, and this is no time for the e-mail soldier or the mass-mail patriot. A handwritten or printed letter with your signature on it, taking its place on a pile of similar real letters from voters back home, is the one thing you must do if you really care. Then, you must make a phone call to that office to reinforce your impact.
Use your Zip Code to find the local addresses and phone numbers of your Members of Congress at the following link. Don't use the site to send your message, however, as your personally-mailed letter is worth hundreds of such automatically-processed letters because it indicates the intensity of your feelings. Just copy down the local address and phone number for each of your Members of Congress (click on their pictures for that info):

What to say in your letter? You don't need to be told what to say. It's already in your heart and mind, so just say it, and clearly demand impeachment.
The U.S. House begins the process through hearings and the adoption of a bill of impeachment. The Senate hears the case. But both Senate and House members need to hear from us now. They need to know that we have no further use for them if they will not stand up for the rule of law and the Constitution they swore to uphold.
Isn't it odd that a fellow can provide such poor administrative leadership that we lose part of New York and a big part of New Orleans, he can get away with leading a nation to war on falsified evidence resulting in the death of thousands of our young soldiers and tens of thousands of people abroad, he can get away with rigging elections and he can get away with destroying the environmental protections for our air and water and wild places, and he can get away with putting people in jail indefinitely without recourse to lawyers or fair judges, and he can get away with reneging on the Geneva Convention and actually torturing people in secret prisons--all of that--and still survive politically, but he can't get away with admitting to a little old felony back home. It will be like sending Capone up for tax evasion, but if that'll work, let's do it. We owe this to ourselves, our children, and the people of the world. Oh, that the Germans in the 1930s were as resolute in standing up for their higher values as we must do now!
Pass this along to your fellow Americans and friends.
