Goal: Pressuring Rep. Ami Bera (D) to support.
“I had a very good visit to Ami Bera's field office in Sacramento. He was not there so I talked to two members of his staff and gave them a copy of the Common Cause letter plus one I had written encouraging Representative Bera to call for an impeachment inquiry. The staff members were friendly, receptive to what I had to say, and said they would pass along the letters and what I had today to Representative Bera.”

Goal: Pressuring Rep. Kurt Schrader (D) to support.
“We live in this fear of what the Pres will do next and who will die as a result. I got a little emotional actually. Because I truly am scared. I have never done this before. Never been involved in any type of politics. It felt good. I feel like I did something and that feels positive. Here is a photo of my friend Michelle and I who went to Schrader’s office.”
