‘I Love the U.S., the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and Government of the People, by the People and for the People’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

I am a constituent currently registered as a Republican voter, mother, attorney, former teacher, community activist, patriotic American, and someone who has been contacting my representatives for years.

I have been following the news of the impeachment proceedings by reading a wide variety of news sources and reading the public documents.

I care about the impeachment proceedings because I love the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and government of the people, by the people and for the people.

‘The Country and the World Are Watching You’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senator Gardner,

I am a Colorado resident and senior citizen who cares deeply about the impeachment proceedings. I want you, as a representative of my state and my country to ensure that the Senate respects the process for impeachment AS OUTLINED IN THE CONSTITUTION, holding a full and fair trial with sworn testimony from witnesses. Be impartial and without prejudice. The country and the world are watching you.

‘I Have Left the Party Because of the Deep Concern I Have’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

I am a voter in Utah who has affiliated with the Republican Party for my entire adult life, but I have left the party because of the deep concern I have regarding the actions of Republican lawmakers and leaders. The current degree of partisanship in Congress is unprecedented in my lifetime, and I am baffled by Republicans’ continued willingness to demonstrate blind party loyalty, especially when that loyalty conflicts with long-held conservative values.

‘The Republican Party Which I Have Long Supported Has Turned a Blind Eye’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senator Portman,

I am a Cincinnati resident and have long admired your bipartisan efforts in the past, especially in your cooperation with Senator Brown. I have been closely following the impeachment hearings in the House as well as the details surrounding the President’s questionable affiliations with foreign governments. Because my husband studied how Putin uses Russian propaganda during his graduate studies, we recognized Trump’s troubling patterns before he was even elected and have been appalled that the Republican party which I have long supported has turned a blind eye and even defended his actions.

‘No One Is Too Young to Be Affected by the Decisions of Their Political Representatives’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Gardner, Bennet, and McConnell,

I am a seventeen-year-old constituent of Colorado. Though I am not considered old enough to vote now, I will meet the age requirements by the November elections. Of course, no one is too young to care about or be affected by the decisions of their political representatives, and I am certainly no exception.

I have been following the news of the impeachment proceedings by listening to the hearings, reading a wide variety of news sources, and discussing all of this with my family and classmates. You and I are alike in our exposure to diverse viewpoints concerning this matter.

‘I’m Concerned That the Minds of Many Senators Are Already Made Up’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senator Portman,

I have been following the impeachment proceedings very closely. I’m concerned that the minds of many Senators are already made up, before the proceedings in the Senate have even begun. Senator, I know you are a reasonable man. I follow your legislation through your website and through your Facebook page. I believe you will do the right thing and allow witnesses to testify at the impeachment hearing. I want to see a full and fair trial — complete with witnesses — because this is the only way to get to the truth of the matter.

‘I Believe You to Be an Ethical and Diplomatic Leader’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senator Romney,

I am so pleased that you are serving in the United States Senate, as I believe you to be an ethical and diplomatic leader, and one that we desperately need right now. I am a Republican from Sandy, and it’s been my privilege to be somewhat involved politically, as a Republican state delegate and precinct chair. I’ve recently become involved with Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) because I see a desperate need for ethical and moderate Republican voices to be heard.

‘Each Senator Is Required by Constitutional Oath to Be an Impartial Juror’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee, McConnell, and Romney,

I am a seventy year old Utahan and in all my years I have never been so fearful for the fate of the country I love. I have always voted but it has only been during this presidency that I have felt the need to contact my representatives on a regular basis. I have been shocked and saddened by the unethical, cruel and petty actions of our current president. His actions on Ukraine are just the tipping point.
