How to Overcome Helpless Feelings Over the Impeachment Trial

Call corporations you do business with and ask them if they support the GOP

You have more power than you think.

Every time you feel a wave of frustration coming over you during the impeachment trial because of the possibility that the Senate won’t convict. Think about the large companies you do business with and let your fingers go.

Call your bank. Call the financial institution that holds your 401k (I was shocked that mine supported the GOP so heavily! I am moving my money.) Call your cell phone provider. Call your internet service provider. Think about the companies that touch you every day. Call them. Ask them.

Another way to know is to Google politicians’ donors in your area. Political donations are visible.

There are also political action committees (PACs). They also have significant donors. They then lobby on behalf of those donors. Check out the influential PACs that contribute to the candidates in your jurisdiction or legislative district.

Tell them you are watching. Tell them you will pull your business.

I did something like that in this article.

I also discuss how important donors are to politicians here.

I hope you are feeling more empowered, dear reader.
