Good idea...

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1179405169215315969.html

Every article of impeachment against 45 that's introduced to public should be presented along w/ proposed changes for how we prevent this in future. If the charge against 45 is soliciting election interference, follow it up w/ restoring *& expanding* the Voting Rights Act, 4 ex.
Place both of these matters before the Senate at the same time, in relationship with each other. Like I've said before, I think the public needs to see both why the 45 admin has to go and the forward-looking vision for how we achieve democracy & equality in this land.
In the matter of election interference, we also can't allow Republicans, as they may try, to remove 45 from office for that crime & then otherwise continue with their party's domestic effort to deny Americans free & fair elections. Another reason it's key to connect these matters
Example of what I mean when I refer to the Republican effort to deny Americans free & fair elections: theintercept.com/2019/09/27/ger…

That document will be written in a formal way that is in keeping with the solemnity of the proceeding.

One thing at a time. One issue at a time.

The Intercept is not a reliable source of much of anything, by the way.
