Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) said Tuesday he will bring articles of impeachment to the floor of the Congress on Wednesday for a vote.

Speaking on the House floor, Green said three prominent Democrats have asked to meet with him to discuss the impeachment of President Trump.

"I will meet with them in my office and here's what I will say: I will tell them that impeachment is not about Democrats," Green said. "That it's not about Republicans. I will them that it's about democracy."

Green said impeachment is about government "of the people, by the people, for the people."

will that make it difficult to bring up again? Can we do what the Rs did with the constant Obamacare repeals? Perhaps every member can sponsor his/her own bill to impeach. We need to get on the offensive on something. Dems are always just reacting and defending.

by both-siders in the MSM.

Put impeachment into the national conversation so that it is seen as the logical next step once all info from Mueller's investigation comes out.
