Max Rose, a Democratic freshman from a swing NY district, announces his support for both articles of impeachment.

He's in a tough district! He's doing the right thing!!

1. For a Democratic Member of Congress, even in a swing district,

not voting for these Articles is a death sentence for that person's political career. Period. They gain nothing by voting against the Articles, but lose the support of every Democrat who supports Impeachment. They don't pick up any Republican votes.

If your House member is wavering, please explain that simple equation to him or her.

2. Agreed, and I'm reasonably sure a majority of independents are backing impeachment?

Voting against impeachment turns you into a Lieberman-esque figure, IMO.

3. Keep your eye on Van Drew D-NJ

He's the rep in my district and I will be 1000% surprised if he votes for impeachment.

4. He's my Congressman!

Next year he'll likely either go up against felon Michael Grimm, or Nicole Malliotakis (who lost to Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2017.

5. He likes to go on tv and say how the Dems aren't doing anything and need to focus on the people...

is he REALLY there....does he not realize all the bills they are passing.

He better well damn be voting for impeachment after MONTHS of that bullshit. He is in a tough district I'll give him that.
