Roughly 200 people rallied in front of Republican Congressman Mike Turner鈥檚 office Tuesday in downtown Dayton in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump.
A coalition of Dayton anti-Trump groups organized the protest to coincide with similar so-called 鈥淣obody Is Above the Law鈥� rallies held in cities across the United States ahead of Wednesday鈥檚 expected House vote on impeachment.
Here鈥檚 what some protesters at the gathering had to say.
Gwen McClain: I was never very political, and I鈥檓 kind of sad that I鈥檝e been forced to be political because we can鈥檛 just sit by anymore, because this is ridiculous. You can鈥檛 just abuse power like that.
Ann Dillerd: I feel like maybe it won鈥檛 make a difference to Turner, but we have to speak up anyhow if we feel like things are wrong for our country.
Zoe Maggard: If you鈥檙e the president, you have to follow the law. You have to be the epitome of America.
Sue Syx lives in the apartment building across the street from Turner鈥檚 office. She says she鈥檚 watched as the number of anti-Trump protesters has grown since July, though she doesn鈥檛 think they鈥檒l be happy in the end.
Sue Syx: I applaud their effort, but I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 going to work. I don鈥檛 think they鈥檒l impeach. I really don鈥檛 think they have enough to stand on.
The House is expected to vote on impeachment Wednesday.
