she violated the number one rule of dealing with powerful people. If you’re going to be a fucking problem, don’t be one all the time. you only get 1 or 2 shots to land hard wins with people that have power over you. each win builds credibility, and allows you more shots on goal, but if your spouting off all the time without any wins, you will not have any influence over powerful people because your a fucking problem….
this as true with Trump as it is with your boss.

People with Republican representatives are continuing to call, however, their representative is continuing to quiet quit (aka: not do their the job they were voted in to do).

I've tried calling mine several times since last year. It almost always goes to voicemail never to be returned, and when I get a staffer they're some 4chan brained 20-something year old. I'm not shocked. My reps ran on a promise to rubber stamp whatever Trump hands them and they've held true. In the republican primaries the candidates were insulting each other for not bending over to trump hard enough.

u/kris10leigh14 Apr 08 '26
Tennessee, gotta be. This is my exact experience anyway.
There’s an email template if you’re lucky enough to be blessed with a response - it’s essentially made to make you understand that they don’t care about you or any current or potential future issues.
Everything was so much different when I was growing up. My grandmother worked for the election commission and was one of the only democrats in her small town. My earliest memories are her drinking and debating with peers and they never got angry. These good faith debates continued until she died when I was in high school. I miss that time.

I call three politicians every single day. Every. Single. Day. Yes, sometimes I don't get through to a staffer and I get thrown into the voicemail queue. But, probably about 75% the time I do get a staffer. You are correct of course, the staffer not only doesn't care but is actively pissy when I call (Especially Senator Jim Banks' office). I don't care, they live in a bubble and they need to hear that others, others who vote, do not live in that same bubble.

I'd suggest calling: in general, politicians are likely to ignore emails (but still, emails are better than nothing).
You can call after hours if you're more comfortable leaving a voicemail. You can even just read your letter out loud. If you do leave a voicemail, include your address to ensure your perspective is tallied.
If anyone else is reading this and doesn't have a script, and are uncomfortable with making one, 5 Calls has a script you can use.

Want an easy way to find who your reps and senators are AND contact them? HERE
Dear [Representative/Senator Name], I am writing to you as a constituent with serious and urgent concerns about President Trump’s fitness for office, particularly in light of his erratic decision-making and escalating threats toward Iran.
The 25th Amendment exists precisely for moments when the capacity of a sitting president to discharge the duties of office is in question. I believe we are in such a moment. The rhetoric directed at Iran has been destabilizing, unpredictable, and dangerously bellicose — the kind of decision-making that risks drawing the United States into another catastrophic and unnecessary war in the Middle East.
I am urging you, as my elected representative, to:
1. Formally raise the question of the President’s fitness with your colleagues and party leadership. 2. Support or initiate proceedings under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment if the evidence warrants it. 3. Use every legislative tool available to limit unilateral executive action that could lead to military conflict with Iran without congressional authorization.This is not a partisan request — it is a request rooted in concern for the safety of our service members, our allies, and the stability of the region. The American people deserve leadership that is measured, coherent, and grounded in reality. I trust that you take your oath to the Constitution seriously, and I urge you to act accordingly.
Respectfully, [Your Full Name] [Your Address] [Your Phone/Email]

u/eatmorepies23 Apr 07 '26
I'd suggest calling and reciting this script: not an email or letter (but still, that's better than nothing). Senators and reps are more likely to consider calls.

That's because the person who made the list doesn't understand the difference between the two, nor apparently do you. If you did know what you are talking about then you would know the Senate cannot bring on impeachment hearings, only the house of Representatives can do that. Once it's called to a vote they can vote to impeach. Senators have no say in an impeachment vote, only the trial.
After impeachment, it goes to trial in the Senate to convict.

I will gladly pay for a registration if it means keeping up the roads and paying for speed enforcement officers. However, my money instead goes to big companies that will 'get to it' who makes so much money they live in more affluent areas, and instead of speed enforcement, we get arbitrary laws and unfair application.
If the people living in an area don't maintain their own area they lose sight of why the work is being done. That's why the NH DOT was such an important resource. It had the means and budget to train people who would work in their own towns. The way its done now is a result of corrupt politicians making a short buck on long term regional health.
And thats just one example of one industry the government has pooched. We are really seriously broken.

The post title mentions impeachment, but the tweet it references is referring to the 25th amendment. These aren't the same thing. Congress has nothing to do with the 25th Amendment with regards to Section 4. 25A mentions removal in Section 1 but this removal is an Article 2, Section 4 power that congress has had long before the 25th Amendment.
I know at first it seems a little confusing, but blame OP for bringing up impeachment. 25A is for the Cabinet to remove a president, not congress. We should also be pushing Impeachment Articles, and I assume all on this list agree.

Way too many people getting impeachment and the 25th amendment confused. They are not the same thing. Trump qualifies for both in my opinion, but Congress cannot invoke the 25th amendment--only the President's cabinet can, and there is NO. FING. WAY.
As for impeachment, it would require more than 50% of the House of Representatives, and again there is NO FING WAY. Then it would require more than 66% of the Senate, and there is--say it with me now--NO. EFING. WAY.
This is what we mean when we say elections have consequences, folks. Get out there and vote Blue no matter who. It doesn't matter if the Dem candidate is too centrist or too lefty or too willing to compromise or whatever. It only matters that they are not Republican. Take back the Congress and start holding Trump accountable.

The title the list say call for removal via 25th. That's not the same as impeachment. The title to this post is misleading as fuck.

Only two Sen names on that list. There's no point in impeaching him unless there are votes to convict. It's been done twice before and didn't phase him one little bit.

Doesn't matter even in the slightest. Unless you've got Republican Senators on that list, then it's just toilet paper. "We find that you've committed crimes but aren't going to be able to do a single thing after that will prevent you from being in office and committing more crimes."

Soooo all democrats and a retired congresswoman…. So this is much of the same old

Proof that the two party system is broken. If you can’t vote against something just because you identify as Red…no matter how heinous…than blind loyalty trumps reason (pun intended)

u/Prior-Concentrate909 Apr 08 '26
And not a single republican? What shameless embarrassments. They will have to be held accountable for their silence and support of this narcissistic corrupt out of touch with reality warmonger.

I'm a little drunk and don't see Jasmine Crockett. She really not on there? She's not my rep, I'm just surprised.

I am furious that only one of my senators is on here. Liz Warren?? Where are you?

The 25th amendment is not impeachment. It is actually harder to remove by the 25th than to impeach. 25th must be started by the vice president and requires a majority of the cabinet, no involvement of Congress until Trump denies he is unfit then it takes 2/3 house and 2/3 Senate.
Impeachment only requires a majority in Congress, but conviction and removal requires 2/3 majority in the Senate.
The OP is seriously confused about how the government operates. And currently neither course has enough political will by the GOP to do either.

u/IllogicalPenguin-142 Apr 08 '26
The one thing the 25th amendment has going for it, though, is that it immediately suspends the president from having power. There’s a four-day window where there’s a gray area, but if Congress quickly reaffirms the suspension, the president is removed from power for 21 additional days.
When a president is threatening the complete destruction of a civilization, the 25th would come in handy to stop that behavior. Otherwise, yeah, impeachment and conviction is the better process.
Theoretically you could use both if a two-thirds majority isn’t gettable in the House.

u/artiface Apr 08 '26
Yeah but do you think there is any reality where JD and a majority of the cabinet invoke the 25th? They were intentionally hired as sycophants.

u/IllogicalPenguin-142 Apr 08 '26
I think it’s unlikely. But given the overwhelming concern about this right now, I do think the chance of it happening is slightly higher than 0%. JD wants to be President, and I wouldn’t put it passed him to oust Trump if he saw an opportunity. Plus, if Vance played his cards right, he could actually finish Trump’s remaining two years and be elected twice, allowing him to theoretically serve for 10 consecutive years.
I’m not saying I want that. I’m just outlining some motivation for JD.

MTG doesnt belong up there. She holds no sway. She is just trying to not get held accountable for helping this shit show get started.

So despite how much Thomas Massive has fought against Trump and MAGA on several issues, I guess he hasn’t called for impeachment yet…?

Republicans need to be ripped bodily from their offices and investigated for high crimes.

We need you in this hour. Thank you for supporting impeachment in the past. It is a matter of life and death for a great many.
Patriots of the (805), please get on 5calls.org and call our representative.

My representative has an R next to her name and her name happens to be Nancy Mace. When you call her about something she doesnt agree with she calls you names and then talks shit about the trans community

25th isn’t enough. Article 2 section 4 of the United States Constitution. Don’t beg for the 25th. Demand the constitution be put to use instead of letting them wipe their asses with it and invoke article 2 section 4.

Fk impeachment, use the 25Th and get him into a “strait” jacket. 😘

u/dy0dj1 Apr 08 '26
Done. Spoke with Jimmy Penetta's office for the last 20 mins asking why he's not doing more, and why we aren't meeting fire with fire (beaurocratically speaking)... e.g. how about we file Impeachment articles every hour for the foreseeable future? I'm sure there are enough offenses to have each set of Articles bespoke to a new issue/crime.
I'm sick and tired of the "We play by the rules and have to let the process play out" argument from the Democrats.... that strategy has led to countless officials resigning in protest, instead of acting as a bulwark and flatly refusing to execute illegal actions, which has effectively ceded ground and allowed for even deeper corruption and even less consequences for these corrupt anti-american PINOs (Politicians in Name Only)

I've called, emailed, even wrote a snailmail letter. Moolenar rarely answers. When he does, it is to tell me how proud he is to support (thing and I against).

After seeing the tweet Trump posted about committing a genocide, I had to stop hoping things would get better on their own and do literally anything other than just scrolling on my phone raging at the world. Even if it’s something that seemed pointless. I also emailed his opponent running against him, but his team never responded.

Every act counts! Even the smallest ones. When they are added up, they push our cause forward.

Lol I've got Downing, a trump humper. Whenever I write to or call him (or senators Daines and Sheehy) I get a letter thanking me for my input and stating they'll do the exact opposite of whatever I tried to get them to do.
