In Carbondale on December 17th an impeachment rally was held outside of Congressman Mike Bost congressional office. Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress 12th district in Illinois Raymond Lenzi, charged Bost with corruption and called for his retirement.

MoveOn.org, Stand up American, and Indivisible sponsored the rally. The corruption charges come from Bost’s acceptance of $1.4 million dollars from super PACs and acceptance of the maximum financial contribution from Russian money launderer Igor Fruman.

The rally that was held in Carbondale was one of 500 rallies held across the country over the impeachment of President Donald Trump. Lenzi stated at the rally “The corruption must be called out and stopped.”
