My Democratic Rep in CT does not yet support impeachment

Rep. Jahana Hayes, from CT-05, sent me this - here are two paragraphs. Bold added by me:


President Trump’s openness to foreign interference is deeply concerning. Congress has a responsibility to investigate what happened in the 2016 election and the administration’s actions since that time. Those investigations must continue, and I would support an impeachment inquiry if that is where the facts take us. But first, Congress and the American people need to get all the information required.

Over the past few months, I have voted with my colleagues to pass House Concurrent Resolution 24, which calls for the release of the full, unredacted Mueller report and underlying findings to Congress, and House Resolution 430, which authorizes the Committee on the Judiciary to initiate or intervene in judicial proceedings to enforce subpoenas.

Got the same response to the email I sent her last week urging support for impeachment now.

Hi, neighbor! 👋

months. End of September should see the prospects of an inquiry being a more likely possibility.

Sounds like she's focused on the Mueller report and the issue of foreign interference in elections. I'd suggest calling or e-mailing her office (politely, of course) with developments as they happen (and they will) of other impeachable offenses by Trump, including obstruction of justice and abuse of power. Remind Rep. Hayes that obstruction and abuse were two of the very articles the House committee was voting on to refer to the full House in 1974. It isn't just about foreign interference.
