Reader Writes: Alameda City Council to Vote on Resolution for Congressional Investigation of President Donald Trump

Many Alamedans are gravely concerned. We believe that President Donald Trump’s temperament, behavior and leadership are so faulty as to threaten our Democracy.

Alameda4Impeachment is a community group standing up to defend the integrity of our American Government. We join in the nation-wide call for a Congressional Investigation. We need to determine whether sufficient grounds exist for the impeachment of Donald Trump, President of the United States.

Impeach Donald Trump Now is a national non-partisan campaign led by Free Speech for People and RootsAction.org [impeachdonaldtrumpnow.org]. The campaign is circulating a petition calling on the Congress to initiate an impeachment investigation.

Leading constitutional scholars and government ethics experts have warned President Trump that his vast business enterprises present a conflict of interest that may violate the Constitution, U.S. law and the public trust. Numerous legal challenges are already underway regarding these violations.

Information has become public alleging that Donald Trump and his associates may have colluded with Russian government officials to coordinate illegal efforts to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Such collusion may include undermining U.S. government policy regarding sanctions associated with Russian interference in that election.

On February 21, Alameda4Impeachment presented to the City Council a resolution calling on the U.S. Congress to conduct an Impeachment Investigation. (On that same day, the city of Richmond passed a similar resolution, becoming the first city In California to do so). The Council is set to vote on the matter on March 21. Supporters are urged to e-mail Alameda City Council members expressing their support. It costs the city nothing, yet pushes us forward on the moral compass.
