To the editor:

Whether the Democratic Party leadership is afraid or just too comfortable in its position, I reject its argument that commencing impeachment proceedings against President Trump is not the proper action to take.

I understand the challenges, but I believe the only way to defeat Trump will be through prompt impeachment proceedings that shed light on all his misdeeds in a manner that we can all understand. From what I have seen, his misconduct is very different from President Clinton’s in the 1990s.

We should not let Trump or his supporters intimidate us from taking the right course of action. They may be loud, but I believe that there are more of us who think that his actions deserve this scrutiny.
