The guy's a huge Trump supporter. I would encourage those living in districts represented by Democrats (and reasonable Republicans) to urge their congressmen/women to vote for articles of impeachment when they come before the House for a vote.

At present, 165 more votes are needed just to begin the impeachment hearings in the House. Don't blame Pelosi for not magically beginning impeachment hearings on her own, she needs the votes to do so.
