WASHINGTON - Impeach Trump Again, a nonpartisan campaign led by Free Speech For People, announced today that they have collected over 250,000 petition signatures in support of an impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump. The announcement comes on the heels of Rep. Al Green’s recent House floor speech that he would bring articles of impeachment against the president.
“The Constitution has a remedy for a corrupt, lawless president: impeachment,” says John Bonifaz, President of Free Speech For People. “Donald Trump has already committed multiple abuses of power since assuming the Oval Office again, and he must be held accountable. More than 250,000 people across the country have now joined this call for impeachment proceedings against Trump. We urge all Americans who still believe in the Constitution and our democracy to join us at this critical moment in our nation’s history. And, we urge Members of Congress to follow the mandate of their oath of office, stand with Congressman Al Green, and invoke the power of the Impeachment Clause to address the direct and serious threat Donald Trump poses to our Republic.”
250k that’s it?
250k have signed this particular petition to date - not “only 250k Americans want to kick Trump out”. The effort began less than two months ago - it’s a start.
Oh ok that makes sense. Gotta start somewhere.
It’s still worth signing anyways, but realistically, 250k over two months is not something they’re going to listen to.
That is a lot of people if you’re looking at it in absolute numbers, but it becomes an easily-ignored drop in the bucket when you compare it to total population and growth of the movement over time. It’s less than 0.1% of voting-age citizens (or 1 in every 1000 people). Ignoring the fact that petitions are always front-loaded in signatures and quickly lose steam, if it kept going at the rate it’s going, it would take over a year to even be 1% of people. Even by 2028, that would still be an insignificant amount of votes thanks to the winner-takes-all electoral system.
There’s simply no incentive for them to care.
I haven’t seen the petition. I would absolutely sign it.

I’m sure the Republicans in control of the House and Senate will get right on that. I can’t roll my eyes hard enough.
Good for the American people.
Americans still being gullible idiots thinking this will do anything while bad actors a running rampant 🤦♂️
They could have 1,000,000 signatures. The result will be always the same when the man you are trying to impeach personally owns the military.
If you were in the military would you follow orders that are unconstitutional? Which is to say, an order that requires you to suppress the American people?
I would hope service people would see what is happening and say no. But that’s a hope more than anything.
UCMJ obliges members of the armed forces to not obey unlawful orders. Problem is they don’t teach law when you’re in, and some of this shit can get awfully complicated, and that’s excepting the mountains of propaganda.
That’s being said, we are fortunately not yet seeing the military of the US being used to suppress American citizens. But maybe tomorrow!
Im sure your democracy is as strong as ever and will fend off this threat.
Fucking idiots.
We need this to be 25 million
Where do I sign?
Sure, whatever. Let’s add another to the pile. The last two worked so well. Maybe he will frame them in the oval office.
250,001 actually!
And my axe!
I also signed the petition.
Impeachment lost all meaning long long ago
Serendipity makes my point for me.
I can think of few crimes higher than making all our allies distrust us.proceedsing
Thanks - fixed!
The problem is that your post reflected the article title, which still contains the error.
Seems like a scam because they are asking for money. I wouldn’t sign or donate with real information.
What are you talking about? They don’t ask for money anywhere on the site - show me where they ask for money.
Edit: downvote instead of a response? Classy, Vlad.
Edit ++: proof was provided, I stand corrected.
Dafuq? That doesn’t appear at all on Firefox on desktop, or maybe my adblocker got it. I stand corrected and rescind my downvotes.
That being said, classifying Act Blue as a scam is a bit of a reach, although I agree they’re annoying as shit.
What’s funny is with timestamps we can see the proof was posted before your insult…
Must have come in while I was typing the edit, c’est la vie. Proof was provided, so I’ve reversed my downvotes and removed the link from the post text.
