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).
Continue readingI have been following the news of the impeachment proceedings by listening to the hearings, reading a wide variety of news sources, reading the public documents, listening to various news sources and am disappointed in the partisanship the whole process was conducted. Please, as you participate in hearings in the Senate, please promote a full and fair impartial trial, subpoena and hear from sworn witnesses, and conduct the trial without prejudice and partisanship.
Continue readingI am a former Republican, now an Independent. The Republican Party has lost its moorings in “The Age Of Trump.” There is no place there for me anymore, so I could not stay. I cannot, will not, support a President who constantly lies, bullies and berates anyone who is not “loyal” to HIM. We should be first and foremost loyal to the country and its constitution. His brazen attitude concerning the power of the Presidency is very worrisome to me. His erratic behavior is unnerving, and I’m afraid what future “off the cuff” decisions he may make that will negatively affect the nation and the world. He is tearing this country apart as he constantly pits democrats and republicans against each other.
Continue readingAs a political independent, I have almost always voted Republican, including my vote in the last presidential election. Three years in, I have some deep concerns about President Trump.
As we enter this phase of his impeachment trial, I find it unconscionable that there is an effort among Republicans to go forward without calling witnesses. There should be a full and fair trial which would include witnesses; anything short of that certainly could not be called fair. While President Trump should have the chance to defend himself, disallowing witnesses can only be seen as an effort to hide and obfuscate.

Though I have only been [able] to identify as such for the last 18 months, I can attest to the importance of sacrifice in the name of protecting the freedom of our great country. Among our freedoms is the freedom of speech, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to share my concerns with you in this letter.
I have been following the news of the impeachment proceedings by way of impartial news outlets. My investment in the proceedings is much greater than any other occurrence in D.C. than I’d have ever expected. Truthfully, I feel a great need to pay close attention, for I fear that work in my government is being done dishonestly.
Continue readingI am a mother, an active and involved voter and a proud hard-working American. I don’t have any special position of power, or fame status. I am not affiliated with any political party but I have voted for both Republican and Democratic candidates in the past because I don’t vote by party, I vote based on the person, the skills, the ability to do their job.

I remember watching the Nixon and the Clinton impeachment trials. This one strikes me as more like Nixon’s trial but the issues are even bigger. As much as I disliked the Watergate break-in, I never feared that Nixon was not a patriotic American. I didn’t fear that he was influenced by the Russians who were our enemy then and now.
Continue readingI am a republican, physician, father of three, soon to be four, and a long-time Idahoan with deep Idaho roots on both sides of my family. My father was in the Air Force and I grew up living on military bases, learning patriotism and respect for my local and national elected leaders. I value the system of government I live under and support as a U.S. citizen.
Continue readingI am a mother, a grandmother, a teacher, a patriotic American, a regular independent voter, and someone who cares deeply about the state of our democratic system. I have been learning about the impeachment proceedings by reading and listening to a wide variety of news sources as well as reading public documents.
Continue readingAs a lifelong Republican I am confident that there will rise up among the ranks of Republican senators’ men and women who will put principles before politics and advocate for a fair senate impeachment trial. In doing so truth will prevail and history, that is not far off, will be the judge.
