Nancy Pelosi only represents one of 435 Congressional Districts.

I favor impeachment, and I hope that my representative does too. This decision is much too important to leave up to one person, even if she is Speaker of the House. If the American people want impeachment, our representatives should move forward with it.

1. That ship sailed long ago.

The Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader control the floor agendas, therefore they control everything. Seems like there should be a better way, but how would that work? Seems like there ought to be an easier to force floor votes than currently exists.

6. They can be persuaded by the pressure we, the people, put on them

The Democratic leadership still work for us. Otherwise they would be no better than the Republicans. Hoyer and Pelosi are acting in good faith that impeachment would be bad for our Party. They are political animals who are entrenched in Congressional political chessplaying of the past. The newly elected Democrats are not and they bring a younger generational concept of politics to the table.

The transition is on. We’re watching it as it happens. It is inevitable that changes in methodology will happen. Our role is to decide which direction we will follow, and champion.

2. IIRC Pelosi did not say 'never' on impeachment, just not now

Now is the time to use the power of the committees to investigate and build a case that may lead to impeachment.
They just got the roadmap to impeachment from Mueller.

If the House just jumped in unprepared right now on impeachment they would look like they had no Idea what they were doing.

I am impatient also. It is pretty obvious that Trump is a low-life criminal, but congress needs to make sure they have a solid case.

5. You remember correctly.

And I agree with your points. We get one shot at this, we need to make it count and not just rush into it unprepared.

[peggysue2]

9. Yes, one shot

When you aim to kill the King, you dare not miss.

We play our cards right, impeachment will happen. But it will be a marathon, not a sprint. Public hearings, public hearings, public hearings, day-in, day-out. Soften the target, then fire.

Bulls-eye!

3. I just wrote to my representative and told him I favor impeachment.

4. This is why Pelosi is conducting a Monday conference call

It's called Democracy, Baby!

[delisen]

7. I think that is what will happen. Pelosi knows we have to

be behind it and the hearing will build the support of the people.

[UniteFightBack]

8. Do the American people want it? This type of thing takes time to build. Now if rump and co had

leaked every damn thing for the last two years this would of been a bombshell.

Everyone is 'used' to reports of this behavior.

But now we get these folks featured in the report up there on the hill to testify in there own words and free flowing. Questions, answers.. ...these headlines THAT WILL KEEP CROPPING UP. He is right...he's fucked.
