Rep Green is standing up courageously for this country. He understands the assignment.
He is standing up for me, and I hope he does not stand alone in the halls of congress.

House Rep Al Green (same man who courageously stood up and was removed from the state of the union address) has brought articles of impeachment. He is one of my very favorite representatives.

My request of democrats:
Take a good, long look at how republicans obstructed, shrieked, and threw a fit when Obama was in office and they were in the minority.
Now, go use that kind of power for good. Please.
