We need to be in our states marshaling voters to repeatedly and forcefully contact their senators, especially if they’re Republican senators, and strongly voice their support of impeachment and removal. Senators are not from gerrymandered districts. They represent the entire state, and so all voters in the state are their constituents. As soon as they realize their seats are at risk, they’ll listen to the voters. A robust, non-stop expression of our desire for removal is key, IMHO.
