Why aren't we having a GIANT Impeachment march NOW? We need to HELP our country NOW!


The NY Times on October 20, 2019 and Vox on Oct 18, 2019

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/10/18/20905686/resistance-protest-impeachment-rallies-trump

....STRESSED that we NEED a massive Protest/MARCH to demand trump be impeached and REMOVED while the impeachment starts to get in high gear.

LET'S MARCH-------We need to STRESS that the Impeachment Inquiry must involve every American and
STRESS that the trump FOX Propaganda machine is spewing the LIES and trump verbal$hit!

Let's get ALL the Resistance groups to JOIN as one and get this going! NOW......................

http://www.impeachmentmarch.org/ . ETC ETC
.

.

ALSO start the March now in your everyday life. Call out trump every chance you get!

Tell the cashier at the grocery store- trump tried to steal the 2020 election by using our US money as BRIBERY!

Tell the buddy at the coffee maker- That you can't be holding this in; trump is destroying our US security and dividing us all! Let's unite and call trump OUT!

Tell your neighbor- trump told Zelensky that he not only extorted him to make up a fake Biden investigation, that trump wanted Zelensky to say that the UKRAINE was responsible for the 2016 election interference and NOT Putin!

SO start NOW!


****** And most of all let's help ORGANIZE that GIANT Impeachment/REMOVAL march NOW! ******

But we need one BIG March like the Women's March!

We need the complete coverage of the press, we need that BIG- we are not going to take this anymore RIGHT NOW!


Yes Congress IS getting the work done, but let's continue to help. The idea of trump still continuing his reign of
CRIMES is unbearable!

Part of the "slave class/workerbee/proletariat" and many of us are barely scraping by. All I can do is keep myself updated and informed, vote, etc...but I don't have resources to go march

And this is exactly why we need to call out trump and his Slave owner/dictator/evil spree!

trump has always enslaved his workers and would love the old days before 1861!

I am involved in Local marches (to me). I can't go to DC but I cheer for those who can!

BUT I also MARCH with my words everyday and tell everyone I meet/talk to to see what trump is and UNITE against him!

I don't care if they like it or not! This is WAY pass being cordial!

I've been to many gigantic marches in my lifetime, and every one of them took months to organize. Plus money for everything from port-a-potties to permits to police overtime to fees to trash-hauling when it's all over.

Local marches don't need so long to plan, but most of them run into the same issues with fees and permits.

I see you are very excited. Welcome to DU.

local protests from state to state are more effective, but being in DC is electrifying.

I remember going to one when George Bush was pResident it was something. All of us fighting for the same cause.

This is what democracy looks like!!!

One right after Katrina, the other in support of women's reproductive rights. During the first we marched around the WH yelling Liar! Liar! For women, we actually had a milion people.

My only objection to excitable people is the way they a) think all we have to do is show up RFN no airfare involved, and b) someone else will do the planning and if it doesn't happen it's because nobody cares or something.

I'm getting old.
