The rallies have been called to demand Congressional representatives uphold their oaths of office to protect and defend the Constitution and based on the evidence presented, Vote Yes.

Tuesday’s rally “Northern NJ Says Impeach” will be held December 17 – 12:30PM at Rep. Josh Gottheimer’s congressional offices at 65 Harristown Rd, Glen Rock, NJ. 400 people have signed up to attend the event.

Speakers will include educators, grassroots leaders, attorneys and individuals.  The House of Representatives has brought forth two Articles of Impeachment for Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress. Organizer Susan Steinberg stated “No one is above the law and according to the Constitution and the Department of Justice, the only remedy for a sitting president is impeachment.  We demand our representatives uphold their Oaths of Office and do their job to protect our country from an obstructionist Chief Executive. They must vote yes.”

In NJ, additional events are taking place in Montclair, Newark, South Orange, Summit, Newton, Plainfield, and New Brunswick.  Nationally this Impeach and Remove action is being supported by Indivisible, Need to Impeach, MoveOn, Stand Up America and other partners.
