Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

I am a registered Republican voter. I beg you to help make the Senate impeachment trial a full and fair process. This means (1) breaking with those in the party who seem mainly interesting in maintaining personal or party power; (2) encouraging senators on both sides to minimize specious arguments that merely delay proceedings and confuse the electorate, and (3) invite sworn, relevant testimony (e.g., from John Bolton). 

It will take moral courage to not simply decide as a Republican to protect the President. However, it will be a lasting stain on any elected leaders who do not take a sincere interest in what the President did or did not do and vote accordingly. At this point, most people (elected leaders as well as the electorate) probably don’t have the facts to make a good judgement, because the process so far has been so partisan. Please help make the process more honest, open, and fair so the final outcome, whether it is to impeach or not, is morally justified.

Sincerely,
Mary Lou (Utah)
