Demand impeachment with Major Watson.

Congress can and should follow Maj. Watson’s lead - but they won’t do it unless we insist.

On July 1st, Major Jason Watson, an active duty member of the United States Air Force with 17 years of service demanded the impeachment, conviction, and removal of Donald Trump.

I had the privilege of speaking with Maj. Watson before the event and he knew exactly what he was doing. Without mental reservation or purpose of evasion, he took action and demanded impeachment, in uniform. Watson could no longer stand silent while this president harmed the country.

Maj. Watson has been in custody for days. He is under a gag order.

But we aren't.

Tell Congress they must find the same courage that Maj. Watson showed, fulfill their constitutional obligation, hold this anti-democratic president accountable, and impeach.

We’ve drafted a template email at citizensimpeachment.com/action. Pick your representative, click “select,” and then copy and paste and send to their staff. We share actual emails of actual people in your representatives office so that they can’t ignore you.

It was a privilege to be a part of Maj. Watson’s courageous stand for the country. It’s an honor to join him in demanding that Congress take action, file articles of impeachment, and force a vote under Rule IX.

Incredibly generous patriots have donated nearly 300K to Maj. Watson’s legal defense fund. Continue to support him by demanding your member of Congress impeach.

This week, we saw true patriotism in action. Congress can and should follow Maj. Watson’s lead - but they won’t do it unless we insist.

Maj. Watson took the threat Trump’s administration poses to this nation seriously. Thank you to each and every one of you that has done the same for more than a year. And thank you for raising your voice for impeachment once again, this time alongside Maj. Watson.

• What happened on the Capitol steps that day — “Watson was “escorted” to the steps by a member of Congress who “left the area” before police gave Watson “lawful orders to stop the illegal demonstration or he would be arrested,” the police said in a statement.” [CNN]

• What happened afterwards with Jessica Denson & the Removal Coalition — “He understands that he is putting a 17-year military career on the line, essentially sacrificing it all because he understands the stakes are so high. And so he came to me seveal months ago and I worked with him to make sure that his sacrifice was not in vaine to make sure that his message of impeachment, conviction and removal was lost on no one” [Youtube - CNN]
