An Open “Thank You” Letter to Senator Romney

On Friday, January 31, 2020, Senator Mitt Romney was one of only two Republican senators to vote for witnesses in the impeachment trial. In doing so, he showed courage and independence that should be commended, as he apparently did so without the support of party leadership. Mormon Women for Ethical Government wrote the following open letter to Senator Romney, which hundreds of citizens have signed to echo their thanks.

Dear Senator Romney,

We are Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and the unaffiliated. Our combined voices represent the majority of American voters who wanted witnesses in the impeachment trial. Thank you for being the type of leader who courageously seeks for truth, especially when faced with great opposition from within your own party. We stand with you in your decision to do what was right, letting the consequences follow. 

With gratitude,

Roxann Rowberry, Millcreek, UT

Jillaire McMillan, Longmont, CO

Alysia Malmström, Odenton, MD

I’m a Utahn who currently lives in Virginia. Of all the varied reactions to your decision I read on social media there was one attorney friend that put it best, “Mitt Romney has disappointed me more often than he’s pleasantly surprised me… [He’s] probably one of the most lonely men in Washington DC right now, and I’m proud he’s my senator.” Though I deeply disagree with you on issues that have affected me personally, you have earned my respect. Thank you for standing for truth and transparency.

I know this vote cost you, in various ways. It was the right thing to do and I have such respect for your decision. Others in your position took the easy way out. With this vote you won in the hearts and minds of a lot of people, Senator. I will be fighting to send those who voted “no” home in 2020. They are not worthy of their elected positions any longer.  Onward!
Amy Holston, Keller, TX

Melissa Olson, Meridian, ID

Melissa Clark, West Valley, UT

Thank you for choosing to do what, to many of us, seems like the obvious answer — obtain more knowledge to make a more informed decision. It seems like everyone else is choosing their favorite facts and elaborating on those… but facts are facts and the more we have, the better. I’m from Utah and would consider myself a moderate conservative — I agree with your policy and voting record on many things, but tend to lean liberal on things regarding the environment and many social issues. Regardless, it’s good to see you stand up for what you believe, and that integrity will be remembered whenever anyone around me speaks about Utah politicians and when I and my husband vote. I know you’ll take some heat for the way you voted, but know you have other people on your side now. Thank you!

Lauren Arrington, Denver, CO

Linda DeVilliers, Riverton, UT

What I wished and prayed for were senators who were willing to look at the facts, call and listen to witnesses, read and assess evidence, and make a nonpartisan decision. I was sadly disappointed in that only two Republicans were willing to put their honor and integrity on the line and stand up for truth in this matter. After all, if the president had nothing to worry about from witnesses and evidence, then he should have rightfully been exonerated. However, the GOP has rallied the wagons around this shameful elected official and made me embarrassed to be a life-long Republican. I am proud of your actions in standing against the tide and threats, and choosing the right. I would have hoped for no less.

Though I live in NH now, I am a past chair of the SL County Republican Party. I have a great deal of respect for your willingness to stand up and be counted. Do not let the bullying of so many within the party make you retreat. If it gets too bad, become an independent, as I have done. We really need a non-Democrat voice standing up to President Trump. Our country’s future depends on it. Thank you for being that voice. More people support you than you might realize.

I reached out to you multiple times during the first week of the impeachment trial. I did not receive a single canned answer from your office telling me you knew better what is best for our country.

As a grandniece of Senator Wallace F.

Sir, you have given me hope that leaders can still have the courage of their convictions and vote for my convictions as well. Thank you for being that shining light on the hill. However far away that hill seems at the moment your light shines still. Best regards and full respect.

Stanton Smith, Cottonwood Heights, UT

You are a hero.
Christine Balderas, Millcreek, UT

As a fellow Christian, I have been overwhelmed by the lack of integrity shown by so many senators who profess to, and swore to uphold the Constitution. However, they voted to acquit the president and hand enormous power to this person who is clearly unwilling to abide by any laws other than how own or those whose purpose suits him. Many of us were hoping that more senators would vote for right over party, but obviously, that is not what happened. Please know how deeply impressed I am by your courage to stand up for your convictions and do your duty by the constitution. That act gave many of us a small measure of hope for the future.
Carol Watson, Bloomington, IN

Senator, I am a retired foreign service officer who worked for 25 years to build bridges to China. I left the LDS church and became an Episcopal priest and am now serving in Ashland, OR. THANK YOU for your moral courage, and clear effort to bring Christian belief and values into your policy decisions! I am a left-leaning Democrat. But know that I stand ready to support you and other Republicans who want to bring the country, so bitterly divided, together. Grace and peace, brother Mitt.

Thank you for doing what is right. You stand up for what is right and are a true class act. I am proud to have voted for you in 2012 for the president of the United States, and I would gladly do so again. It is so nice to see someone put country over party, just like the great senator John McCain of my state of Arizona. I wish there were others like you. Please know that I and many others support your decision. I will pray for peace and comfort as I am sure this is a difficult time. Again, thank you!

Thank you, Senator Romney, your courage and integrity make me proud that you are my senator. Other Republicans that don’t have the courage of their convictions will soon find out that the majority of Americans wanted a fair trial, it’s shocking how many senators turned their backs on the will of the people. The people will turn their backs on them come election time.

Eliza Esquibel, Lacey, WA

Karen Chadwick, Olathe, KS

I would like to say I personally appreciate you being the only member of your party that has moral courage and chose to be on the right side of history by voting to allow new witnesses and documentation in the impeachment trial. I know that Senator Collins also voted as you did, but I can’t help but feel that her vote was one of convenience in her attempt to retain her Senate seat. I am a Utah resident and Democratic voter because I can no longer find any reason to vote for any Republican. Your party, not through your fault, is quite simply corrupt and rotten. I realize how blunt I am being but you should hear this from someone that could and would support Republican candidates in the past. I was in high school for Watergate and it was a live civics lesson on top of our required government and civics courses in those days. And this Ukraine situation is by far much more disturbing then what Richard Nixon did. And that directly reflects on the actions, or rather, lack of action taken by Republican members of Congress.

Rodger Morgan is my cousin and he tells me you are a great person to know. Consider joining Biden (as V.P.). Might be a great way to get rid of Trump and restore order. Just a crazy thought. That’s how the framers wanted it. Pres and VP from two diff parties (1st and 2nd place).
Vance Mellen, Mundelein, IL

James Hundley, Salt Lake City, UT

Kari Doshier, Medford, OR

Overall, I favor progressive issues, but will get behind actions which support the rule of law, especially that the law applies to all. I would like to see additional charges brought against Mr. Trump for other illegal actions, particularly all of the violations against the emoluments clause.  They have become so blatantly public that it is a great embarrassment. He is destroying the respect America has earned in the eyes of the world and I would like to see that wrong made right. I hope you will choose country over party again, as you act as Senator from Utah. Thank you.

I am currently a registered Republican but have been an Independent for most of my life. I determined a few years ago that I needed to try to provide a counterpoint within the party to the strident partisanship that is dividing our country. It is for this reason that I have been following your participation in the impeachment proceedings through the live streaming and news coverage. These proceedings are an important part of our constitutional balance of power and there has been an increasing trend towards executive overreach. The current situation is an example of placing party before the good of the country (both sides). As a moderate, I am looking for someone who represents my values and principles. Thank you for placing what’s right ahead of expediency and blind partisanship. You are a refreshing counterpoint to the crass partisanship typified by Senator Lee.

Your vote was honorable. You showed moral courage. Please stand strong and vote to remove Trump from office.
Martha Paige, Portland, OR

Shanon Black, Kansas City, MO

Thank you for voting for witnesses in the Trump impeachment trial. I watched Republican senators proclaim that Trump had not received due process in the House, and then they voted against calling witnesses in the Senate. I’m a lawyer. You can’t have it both ways. If you say you don’t want witnesses, don’t complain that you aren’t getting due process. This spectacle has made me upset with our nation, but I am grateful to you for your integrity and sense in voting for witnesses. I wish more of our leaders exhibited similar integrity, irrespective of political party.

Thank you for your integrity.
Theresa Flenniken, Layton, UT

In these difficult times where your party is not the Republican Party, but the Trump Party, it takes courage to speak out against him. I thank you for your courage to be able to say that you still have the right to vote your conscience… it may not be an option that much longer if people like you don’t step up. Thank you!
Harvey Tanttila, San Tan Valley, AZ

Thank you for being an American hero! It was so nice to see someone make an ethical choice.

Senator Romney, I am a lifelong proud democrat. Very few of my political opinions align with yours. I don’t care, because you had the courage to do the right thing, opinion polls be darned, I will be voting for you in 2024, regardless of what others in my party say/think. Your actions have also given me a small sliver of hope that there is still hope for the white people in our church.
Matthew Tracy, Salt Lake City, UT

I feel like the number of politicians that I can count on to make moral, measured decisions no matter the circumstances has been dramatically reduced. You are one of the few who I know I can count on. Thank you for standing true. I am so saddened by all the hatred you have been subjected to from so many of your constituents. My in-laws were in your stake in Massachusetts while you were stake president, and they have often commented on your sincerity and steadfastness. I know you’re the real deal. 🙂 Hang in there — we are praying for you!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courageous vote to promote integrity and truth. I stand tall and speak boldly in your defense to those who would choose to defend corruption and the increasingly questionable interests of any political party over the best interests of our nation.

Thank you for doing the right thing. While some members of our faith may disagree with you and say awful things, you are setting a great example.

Thank you for your courageous decision to vote for witnesses at the impeachment hearings. I’m discouraged that our society values winning more than they regard truth. But I’m grateful that we have a few leaders who can act without partisanship as they lead our country. Thanks for all that you do.

I hear people saying how difficult it must have been for you to be the lone star in your decision to vote to have witnesses during the impeachment trial and how hard you will be hit on both sides of the aisle for doing so. Although I don’t know you (actually I did meet you and Anne in Chantilly, VA, during a presidential rally back in 2012), I have a feeling it wasn’t hard for you to choose to seek after the truth! It probably wasn’t even a decision you had to think about. You tell the truth and demanded to hear the truth. Period. That is just who you are. The truth was, and is, all there is in one’s quest to live a moral, decent, and respectable life, in my opinion. That is why I support you as a politician, but more importantly as a person. My sincerest “thank you.”

Thank you for standing up for our country and putting our common welfare and the constitution above partisan politics. I hope more follow. We are beyond the right/left differences here. What is happening today is corrosive and needs to stop. I don’t care what party my heroes come from these days. Today, a hero is someone who puts our commonality and shared values above all else. Sometimes even above self. Thank you.

Dear Senator (Brother) Romney. Even though I’m not a Utah resident and voter, I lived in Utah Valley for 8 years in the 80s while attending BYU and raising my young family; my 2 sons were born there. I still have many relatives and friends in Utah and nearby states. I am also a 47-year convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the DC area. I have never been so concerned about the security, integrity, and morality of our US Constitutional Republic and our democratic principles. I have always been an optimist rather than a pessimistic doomsday predictor, but it feels to me that our national government, some of its very wealthy supporters, oligarchs, and autocrats worldwide are looking more and more like the Gadianton Robbers and Kingmen from the Book of Mormon, and that we are no doubt seeing an increase of the signs and tumult prophesied for the latter days. I also find the willingness of the current president and his administration to welcome foreign interference in our political dialogue and process to be very concerning. Many of us no longer know if we can trust our political leaders at the highest levels to avoid using the awesome powers of their positions to harm, betray, and even destroy those who they deem to be their political rivals and even against those who choose to use their first amendment right of free speech to peacefully protest or disagree with policies, actions, or words of those leaders. It’s beginning to look more  like Putin’s Russia where dissenters have strange accidents or are “disappeared.” Please know that these are frightening times for many Americans, church members included. I am dismayed by the large portion of our population who believe lies and are not even willing to look at evidence to the truth. I add my appreciation to that of many others for your support for the rule of law, due process, the need for witnesses and documentary evidence in US trials, including in an impeachment trial in the Senate. I thank you for standing for truth, justice, compassion, and love for those who share this country and this world with us. And this you have done in spite of the risks you must take of incurring the potential wrath, mockery, and vengeance of the current president and many in his administration and party who have questionable agendas and values which don’t seem to align with those that Christ taught. I think we need more people like you in government leadership who are willing to take those risks to represent Americans who want the government to do what is right rather than simply what is expedient for those who would cover their lies and sins. Thank you again for your courage in a very difficult time. I pray we will all keep the faith and do what is right, let the consequences follow.
