Call your Members of Congress (MoCs) to express support for the impeachment inquiry in the House of Representatives, and encourage all your friends across the country to do the same.

On December 10, the House Judiciary Committee unveiled two articles of impeachment against President Trump: one for abuse of power, and another for obstruction of Congress.

Both are specific to the issues surrounding the withholding of aid to Ukraine.

The House expects to vote on these two articles of impeachment during the week of December 9, 2019.

Know also that the night before the vote, MoveOn will hold Nobody Is Above the Law protest events across America in support of the impeachment proceedings.

Holding it the night before the vote—which could happen as soon as Thursday, December 12, 2019—is logistically difficult for many because of the elasticity of the date. But if you can attend, please do. If you can’t, please help others attend by watching their kids, giving them time off work, paying for their gas and parking, or whatever else works.

You can find your nearest protest location here: https://front.moveon.org

And of course, what you need to be doing now is what you’ve been doing these past several weeks: calling your MoCs every day to support the impeachment inquiry, and asking friends and family, particularly those in red states, to do the same.

Yes, you need to do this even though only the House of Representatives is directly involved right now. Once the House drafts articles of impeachment, they go to the Senate, where the 100 senators serve as a jury. Even though it’s not the Senate’s turn yet, you need to pressure your Senators and keep impeachment on their radar.

Yes, you need to make these calls even if you have bullheaded blood-red GOP Senators. Their offices log all the calls they get on various issues, even if they don’t agree with the stances of the constituents who call. You can pressure them and make them sweat through the brute force of the volume of the calls.

Before you call, check the Twitter feed of Celeste Pewter (@Celeste_Pewter), so you can tailor your comment about the impeachment inquiry to the day’s events. 

She is quick on the draw with calling scripts–way faster than I could ever hope to be–and will have a template you can use or adapt when making your calls to MoCs.

Even if she doesn’t have a specific template, she will retweet and comment on events that you can cite in your new daily call.

If she goes silent (she has deadlines to meet before the year ends and might not be on Twitter every day), look to the resources cited in our post on what you can do NowRightNow to fight [Fresh Horror] for fresh news you can cite. The link is above but here it is again:

If you’ve ignored all the OTYCD posts urging you to call on impeachment to date, now is the time to get involved. Trumpistas will, are, and will continue to ring the offices of their members of Congress to scream and bleat and threaten as impeachment comes to a head in the House; it’s extra-important for you to step up and voice your support, for that very reason.

Important backstory: Impeachment starts in the House of Representatives before moving to the Senate. An impeachment inquiry, which is what’s happening now, is pretty much like the grand jury stage of legal proceedings—witnesses are called, and a fair amount is done in secret.

When you hear the phrase “impeachment and removal,” that refers to the House acting to impeach and the Senate voting to remove Trump from the office of the president. While the U.S. Congress has impeached presidents, none have been removed—they’ve either quit before the Senate trial and vote, or the Senate voted to acquit.

Only the House is actively involved in impeachment proceedings right now. Your House rep may be in a position to act on the impeachment inquiry. Your calls to your rep should focus on things your rep can do.

You should call your Senators even though the Senate is not involved yet. These calls should start with “I realize the House is still working on impeachment” or some other statement that recognizes it’s not yet with the Senate.

Rephrase your statement for your House rep in terms that ask your Senators to publicly support the recent actions of House Dems, or to make note of the recent actions and ready themselves to be jurors.

Another point I like to hit when talking to my Senators, who are both Dems, is to talk to their GOP colleagues. I’ve asked them to stress the fact that we’ve had almost three years to watch Trump’s performance in the job, and the only thing he’s learning is how to stifle oversight and abuse the powers of the presidency more effectively. I also ask them to voice the fact that things are only going to get worse, not better, until Trump is impeached and removed.

Point friends and family to Celeste’s feed as well, or copy and paste Pewter’s latest script and send it to them, if that works best.

Making phone calls is still the best way to reach your MoCs. If it’s after hours or a weekend, leave a voicemail. If you can’t call your reps, email them.

Help friends find their MoCs and the relevant contact information for each of the three.

Give them all the help and support they need to make the calls. Don’t nag. Just encourage, and celebrate every action they take.

After you make your daily MoC calls, please show your appreciation for Celeste Pewter in some fashion.
