Americans for Impeachment was originally launched under the name "The Presidential Impeachment Protest" on Memorial Day, 2019. The activist group was organized by Washington, DC attorney Peter M. Dennis, Esq. in direct response to Congress refusing to open an impeachment inquiry following the release of the Mueller Report, despite the fact that the report carefully documented how President Trump had allegedly attempted to obstruct the investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election on nine or more occasions.
For months we engaged in a public awareness campaign with two principle missions:
1. Educate the public about the contents of the Mueller Report, and the need for Congress to open an impeachment inquiry into President Trump regarding the numerous instances of obstruction of justice described within the report.
2. Encourage the public to call their respective members of Congress and demand the opening of an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
Despite our best efforts, Speaker Pelosi repeatedly rejected calls to open such an inquiry. However, in September, 2019, news broke about a whistle-blower complaint relating to a phone call between President Trump and the President of Ukraine that had been filed through proper channels, then subsequently suppressed by the White House. In response to this news, the "Presidential Impeachment Protest" drafted a letter to members of Congress expanding our calls for an impeachment inquiry to include this new alleged misconduct.
On September 24th, 2019, Presidential Impeachment Protest Co-Founder Peter M. Dennis hand delivered that letter to every Congressional Office in the U.S. House of Representatives. Later that day, Speaker Pelosi announced that the U.S. House of Representatives was going to open a formal impeachment inquiry.
With the inquiry we had been calling for finally underway, and our group's original mission complete, we declared our next objective: convincing the United States Congress to impeach, convict, and remove President Trump, if he has (in fact) commit treason, bribery, or any other high crimes or misdemeanors. After a lengthy internal discussion, it was decided that with this new mission should come a new name for our group. After all, we didn't want anyone to think we were protesting the impeachment inquiry that was now underway. To that end, the "Presidential Impeachment Protest" was renamed "Americans for Impeachment."
