25th the 45th -- Remove Donald Trump from Office Now

Congress and the Cabinet

It is time for the Congress and the President's Cabinet to remove Donald Trump from office before he gets us all killed.

Most of us knew before election day that Donald Trump was unfit for office. But may of us held our tongue -- not in criticizing Trump, but in demanding that Congress and the Cabinet remove Trump from office. Some of us hoped beyond hope that Trump might grow in the job. Others worried that calling for Trump's removal too early in his presidency might turn the issue "political"; and scare off Democrats, while forcing Republicans to defend Trump out of party loyalty.

But now that Senator Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee has publicly warned that Donald Trump is leading us into World War III, enough is enough, we've waited long enough.

In fact, we've already waited too long. Not only is Donald Trump letting people die in Puerto Rico, in large part because he's angry at the mayor of San Juan (and because many Puerto Ricans are of mixed race), but now he's actively trying to destroy Obamacare, simply out of spite. The latest news is that Trump just announced that he will no longer pay the billions in federal subsidies that Obamacare receives to help keep costs down for low-income Americans, causing a premium increase of 20% and causing some insurers to leave the market entirely, making health insurance unaffordable for many Americans. That's in an addition to an executive order Trump signed this week, intended to convince healthy people to leave the ACA exchanges, leaving only those of us with pre-existing conditions to remain while premiums soar beyond our means.

We can no longer afford to wait for Special Counsel Mueller to perhaps find Trump guilty of colluding with Russia. People are dying in Puerto Rico. People will die if Donald Trump succeeds in killing Obamacare. And millions more will die if Trump is successful in starting a war with North Korea.

I have had it. And I hope you have to.

But, you might ask, why will any of this matter? How will your voice make a difference if it hasn't helped already? Because Senator Corker's public excoriation of Donald Trump's fitness for office, and his admission that most of the Republicans in the Senate agree with him that Trump needs to go, was a game-changer. It means that we are at the point where a groundswell of public support for Trump's removal could finally pressure Congress (via impeachment) and the Cabinet (via the 25th Amendment) to act.

If we all start publicly demanding that Trump be removed from office, we will start a national debate about this very issue, the media will report on it more and more, and Democrats and Republicans alike will be forced to take a stand. In fact, a top Democratic donor has already said he will not support any Democrat in 2018 who does not openly call for Trump to be removed from office. The issue is finally ripe. And we must seize it now.

Sign the petition to Congress and the Cabinet on this page, tell your friends, go on social media and talk openly and loudly about how Congress and the Cabinet need to remove Trump from office, and demad your member of Congress take a stand. You will help to start a national conversation around this issue, and that conversation will drive Donald Trump even crazier, forcing Congress and the Cabinet to finally take action for the good of the country, sealing Trump's fate once and for all.

One final word: I'm not going to lie to you and pretend that Vice President Mike Pence is an angel, because he's not. But there's no indication that Pence would let Puerto Rico suffer simply out of spite, and Pence is far less likely to start World War III. At least with Mike Pence, we can live to fight another day.

Join me, add your name, and demand that Congress and the Cabinet "25th the 45th."
