...presents a tough problem for we the people. Particularly as the conspirators do everything in their power to destroy every institution by which our will is measured and executed.

It is ultimately up to us to make our will known. We must stop being afraid of demanding the remedy the Constitution gave us, regardless of outcome. We must work to make impeachment a reality -- seriously work at it. Doing so is a moral imperative, win or lose. Call on candidates for the U.S. Senate and House to declare their intent to impeach, listing the usurpations and abuses. And if they will not, we need to find candidates who will, whether they be Dems or Republican primary challengers.

And frankly, Vance is a co-conspirator in all and needs to be included in draft articles.

It is long past time for a national civics lesson on demanding the people we elect to represent us actually represent our will and our interests.
