Call your Congressperson. Articles of impeachment come from the House, not the Senate. The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2018 #3

Contact your House Reps.

And also, Whistle Dixie while you're on the line, because the GOP won't do it.

If the impeachment bill passes the House, then the Senate votes guilty or not guilty. 2/3 vote required to convict. So call your Senators back and demand that they do 2 things. 1: Vote for a bill to raise sanctions on the Russians. 2. Issue a statement criticizing Trump's performance in Helsinki and that they believe our Intelligence professionals about Russia's attacks on our country.
