Action 163 Impeach RFK Jr!
Before we get to the serious stuff, here is something to brighten your weekend! Photos from Ellsworth, Maine Labor Day rally 2025 compiled by Sue Shaw, Blue Hill, and sent to us by Carole Beal. Lively sound track! There are some great signs here, no copyright. If you pause the video on a sign you particularly like, you can make your own version of it, for the October 18 No Kings rally (1). Here are two links to the same slide show, one may work better on your computer or device than the other one.

I particularly liked the sign “two paths diverged in the wood and America chose the psychopath” and the sign with an RFK duck getting the boot: “Send the quack back to the pond”!
Background: Speaking of the Chief Quack – He was confirmed by the Senate and can be impeached by Congress. Articles of Impeachment require a simple majority vote in the House and a 2/3 majority in the Senate for conviction and removal. He must be impeached by Congress if he isn’t immediately fired by Trump. Surely Republicans understand this. One wonders... does RFK have kompromat on Trump? Recall that Susan Collins, with her stellar record of badly misjudging character and woeful inability to detect liars, voted to confirm him. She is complicit in the illness, suffering and death that he will cause. Maine people are particularly vulnerable. Maine is demographically the oldest state in the United States, with the highest median age and the largest percentage of its population aged 65 and older. (2). IF the Congress steps up with an Impeachment Resolution, our Senators will need to support it.
Action: Ask Jared Golden and Chellie Pingree to start impeachment proceedings against RFK Jr. We expect some leadership on this issue from Maine’s Representatives! We hesitate to ask that you contact the White House, even though RFK Jr is badly damaging the Trump brand and firing him would be popular. Isn’t it a sad commentary that contacting the White House could subject you to revenge? The W.H. contact form asks for enough personal info that you could be easily found, targeted and harassed.
Contact:
Representative Jared Golden: Email: golden.house.gov/contact
Phone: (202) 224-3121 (DC office), (207) 249-7400 (Bangor office)
Representative Chellie Pingree: Email: https://pingree.house.gov/contact/
Phone: (202) 225-6116 (DC office), (207) 774-5019 (Portland office)
Urgency: Call today before more distractions drop.
Another Action to consider: Sadly, if you cannot be vaccinated against Covid, you probably should start wearing a mask in densely populated places. This is because it’s been estimated that 1 in 5 people infected with Covid never develop symptoms, but they can still be spreaders. Even if you are not concerned for yourself, how awful to consider that you might be one of the unaware silent spreaders, and responsible for infecting someone who is immunocompromised. (3) Nobody will judge you harshly for wearing a mask in a public place.
We should go out of our way to thank all who do!
