Dear Massachusetts members of the US House of Representatives:

As your supporters and constituents, we ask you to call upon the House Judiciary Committee to launch an impeachment investigation against President Trump. Not as a political stunt or a meaningless gesture. Not to score points with progressives or to indulge in macho posturing. The impeachment process must begin simply because love of country compels it.

You have heard all the arguments. You know more about emoluments than the original framers of the Constitution. You are no strangers to the absurdity of the Trump International Hotel, D.C., and you know how many taxpayer dollars have been spent at Trump properties. You are familiar with the blind trust that is not blind. You likely believe that justice has been obstructed, probably more than once. You recognize that the pardon power has been used to violate accountability under the law. You know that the response to Charlottesville was contemptible, and you are aware that “high crimes and misdemeanors” does not require treason but is instead a gross abuse or violation of the public trust. In short, you fully understand that Trump has likely violated the Constitution in multiple ways, and that the proper remedy is a House Judiciary investigation to see if impeachment is warranted.
