Hunter Campaign Fund Misuse Trial
- Read-up on Report on Rep. Hunter's campaign funds goes well beyond rabbit air travel, finds 'pervasive evidence' of misspending and Statement of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Ethics Regarding Representative Duncan Hunter.
- Contact Rep. Hunter and ask him to resign now for pleading guilty to stealing more than $150,000 campaign funds. He hasn’t and cannot be on any congressional committees, and now he cannot vote on any House legislation. FYI, he earns a $174,000 annual salary, and set to earn more than $10,000 the rest of the year, but he has spent most of his term fighting his indictment which he has now pleaded guilty.
Trump Impeachment
- Read-up on Impeachment hearings: Democratic witness Daniel Goldman explains Trump-Ukraine scandal completely and READ: Articles Of Impeachment Against Trump.
- Contact Senator Feinstein and Senator Harris and tell them that you believe President Trump should be impeached and removed from office. President Trump abused his power in requesting a favor of the President of Ukraine to investigate former Vice President and rival Presidential Candidate Joe Biden.
