Rep. Bill Posey sent a one question impeachment survey to his constituents today.

I responded and followed up with an email. I will be calling their offices tomorrow and doing the same next week with a slightly different theme.
Here is this week's message.
I watched or listened to in excess of 90% of the House Intelligence Committee and House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearings. I fail to see how any rational human being can hear the same testimony and see the same evidence without coming to the obvious conclusion that President Trump is a clear and immediate danger to our national security. The GOP stands at a crossroads in history. I pray you will protect the U.S. Constitution you swore to uphold and defend rather than continue to enable a cruel and corrupt autocrat. Do not be complicit in the dismantling of our representative democracy.
I beg you, show some strength and integrity and urge your fellow Republicans to do the right thing, even if it means losing your personal positions of power. Choose your legacy carefully and wisely. For the survival of our Republic, Donald J. Trump must be impeached and removed from office. If he is not, there will be no limits on any future president whatsoever, and Congress will have ceased to be a co-equal branch of our government for all time.
I kept it short and chose to follow the cue of the Articles of Impeachment and focus on the national security angle. When my congressman had the option, I chose National Security for the subject area of the email. I did not mention elections, Russians, bribery, quid pro quo, or anything else that might muddy their waters.
Will my appeal have an impact? Unlikely with this particular trio. But I'm on record where I stand.
