We all just want a smooth-running country, don’t we? A country with integrity that is led by leaders with integrity. No one wants to go through what we’ve been going through this year. And that includes Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas).
On Friday, after casting her vote to impeach Pres. Donald J. Trump, Garcia tweeted this.
I did not come to Congress to impeach the President and for that reason I take my #ImpeachmentVote seriously. I voted for the first of the #ArticlesOfImpeachment because Trump abused his power when he asked a foreign govt to interfere in our elections for his personal gain.

Earlier this week, Rep. Garcia tweeted her reasoning for her insistence that Donald Trump be impeached.
I grew up poor in rural south TX where I picked cotton in the blistering sun to help my family. I’m the product of the American Dream, which we must protect against Trump’s actions. Democracy is a gift that each generation gives to the next. That’s why we must #ImpeachTrump.

For the most part, Twitter users were grateful and supportive.
Good for you. You did your job & that’s exactly how it should be. I’m closely watching my reps., enough of this not knowing. He broke the rules right in front of the American people. I’m blown away then people have to give more then a passing thought.

As #ExGOP & a Texas citizen, thank you for representing us ALL!
I left @GOP b/c they've abandoned Americans, repubs, Individualism, Republicanism, the core values the claimed to hold dear & future generations by destroying a process intended to work for US, not themselves.
