Below is a copy of the bulk of an email I sent to my New Mexico Congressman, Representative Lujan.
...........................................
Whenever possible & appropriate, I hope you will share the following with your colleagues.
1. I'm not a Democrat or a Republican, but I've been keenly observing American politics since 1956 (1956 is not a typo)... for about 15 years now as an Independent.
2. Trump has violated the Constitution at least twice... emoluments, and bombing without approval from Congress... not only the Syrian airfield, but elsewhere as well. [The fact that other Presidents have taken similar actions does not mean that Trump's actions are legal. The War Powers Act does not supercede the Constitution.]
3. He has violated NEPA (Nat'l Environmental Policy Act) at least once. [Environmental regulatory compliance is one of my areas of expertise.] The DAPL Project requires an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement); there's no question at all about that. Immediately prior to Trump taking office, the Army had filed an NOI (Notice of Intent) to complete the EIS ; in February, they cancelled that NOI, and later, Trump bragged about closing his eyes & just signing it (the authorization for DAPL). He did so without a NEPA-required EIS in place. In short, he violated the Law.
4. He has made us a laughingstock throughout the world.
5. His conflicts of interest are beyond belief.
6. Republicans in Congress are starting to desert him.
7. It's time to get serious about the Articles of Impeachment that already have been introduced.

Not only my opinion. Be Well
