The 10 million signatures to impeach Trump represent the biggest online petition campaign in U.S. history, the groups claim.
A coalition of national advocacy groups on Thursday delivered 10 million signatures—what they are calling the biggest online petition campaign in U.S. history—urging the House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.
“Movements happen with actions like this where millions of us speak up demanding that our representatives work on our behalf,” she said. “It is so important that we completely push back, very strongly, very loudly against this president not abiding by the U.S. Constitution,” she said, “And not only that but a number of obstruction of justice decisions that he has made.”
“We are holding in our hands 10 million reasons for being here today,” Green said. “It’s important for these organizations to get a message to the masses.” The 10 million signatures included more than 8 million gathered by the Need to Impeach campaign launched by billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer in October 2017. Other organizations involved in the effort include Free Speech for People, MoveOn, CREDO, Democracy for America, Women’s March, Courage Campaign and By the People.
A small number of Democratic presidential candidates—including Senators Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, and former Representative Beto O'Rourke—have publicly supported the idea of the House beginning the impeachment process. However, none of these White House hopefuls currently has any authority to get that process started.
