<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;" align="center">The billionaire and avid democratic party supporter, Tom Steyer has spent over $10 million on a national TV ad calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is Steyer&rsquo;s latest anti-Trump effort and is demanding &ldquo;that elected officials take a stand.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Steyer goes as far to say Trump is &ldquo;mentally unstable.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&#8220;A Republican Congress once impeached a president for far less. And today, people in Congress and his own administration know that this President is a clear and present danger who is mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons,&#8221; says Steyer in the ad, which stars himself.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Like you, I&rsquo;m a citizen who knows it&rsquo;s up to us to do something,&rdquo; says Steyer directly to viewers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ad is being aired in New York and California, along with on national on cable TV. Steyer is funding the campaign entirely on his own and isn&rsquo;t pulling funds from his NextGen America political apparatus.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ad directs viewers to NeedToImpeach.com that features an open letter from Steyer where he criticizes the president on some of his actions and policies.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&#8220;He has threatened to reduce aid for millions of American citizens in Puerto Rico who are struggling to survive without drinkable water or electricity &#8212; a move that would be a total dereliction of his duty. And every day, Americans are left bracing for a Twitter screed that could set off a nuclear war. These actions represent systemic attacks on our nation&#8217;s future,&#8221; writes Steyer.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Trump was quick to put Steyer on blast.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Wacky &; totally unhinged Tom Steyer, who has been fighting me and my Make America Great Again agenda from beginning, never wins elections!&rdquo; tweeted Trump early Friday morning.  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Steyer then followed his Twitter response to Trump with another series of tweets, ;addressing citizens ;and politicians to support his impeachment campaign: &#8220;I have been fighting your racism and corporate groveling from the beginning and always will. Americans deserve much better. Americans across the board know you&#8217;re a danger to the people of this country. @NancyPelosi @SenSchumer it&#8217;s time to take a stand. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are adding voices to the movement to impeach this President. It&#8217;s only a matter of time until he is gone. Sign our petition today and tell Congress to impeach Impresident Trump,&rdquo; writes <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Forbes.</em>  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But the wildly expensive ad isn&rsquo;t all that Steyer will be spending his millions on. He told <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Forbes</em> that it will also be supported by a multi-million-dollar digital advertising campaign.  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Only a few Democrats, including Congressmen ;Brad Sherman of California and Al Green of Texas, have introduced impeachment measures in the House, but Steyer is the first to dedicate so much funding to this cause.  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other organizations have launched campaigns with the same mission on petition outlets.  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Steyer&rsquo;s petition ;comes on the heels of ;ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow.org, ;a ;campaign run by non-profit organizations Free Speech For People and RootsAction, which has ;so far ;recruited 1.2 million signatures. In August, the Impeach Donald Trump Now campaign ;crowd-funded just over $5,000 for a billboard ;less than a mile away from President Trump&rsquo;s Mar-a-Lago country club in Palm Beach, Florida, calling for petition signatures,&rdquo; writes <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Forbes.</em>  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This ad could potentially be the start of Steyer&rsquo;s plans to run for president himself.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He has been considering running for California governor in 2018 and then president in 2020. This proves that he certainly has the funds to do so.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Author&rsquo;s note:</strong> Should it be allowed that the 1% take advantage of the political system like this? Shouldn&rsquo;t there be a cap? This is the danger of big money in politics. A billionaire like Steyer can casually launch a $10 million propaganda campaign. ;That is a lot of influence to wield on a whim just because he can as a billionaire. It&rsquo;s important to point out that this is a problem on both sides though. Also, why can&rsquo;t people respectfully accept that Trump was elected by the majority of Americans? He won fair and square. It&rsquo;s time for the Democrats to get over it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> How do you restrict donations to political causes without running afoul of the First Amendment? Not sure how to solve this problem. ; Watch for Larry Horist&#8217;s commentary tomorrow.</p>
