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.
It’s time that the Senate maintain its integrity by acting as a united body for the benefit of the country, not for the benefit of the president or their own political careers. We need to hear the evidence from witnesses who can shed light on the conduct of the President. It’s as simple as that. It’s critical that the Senate protect the sanctity of the United States Constitution, as you have sworn to do.
As I see it, the House did the right thing in impeaching President Trump. I listened to the majority of testimony from the witnesses who appeared before the intelligence committee. I found them to be credible and honest people, with nothing to gain by coming forward with the truth of what they witnessed in the course of doing their jobs. The evidence they presented leads me to believe President Trump did abuse the power of his office by directing foreign policy in an attempt to benefit himself politically. Now, unfortunately, I wonder if President Trump has brought us to the brink of war with Iran in an attempt to do the same thing.
My faith as an American and as a Republican is further eroded when I hear that the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, states that he is unable or unwilling to be an impartial juror in the upcoming trial. This is a betrayal to his oath of office. Ironically, Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham said it best during President Clinton’s impeachment trial, “Please allow the facts to do the talking. … Don’t decide the case before the case’s end.” Unfortunately, Senator Graham is now unwilling to even conduct the semblance of a fair trial.
So, I’m writing to you with hope. Hope that you will stand for truth and righteousness. I implore you to be a leader in doing the right thing in this impeachment battle — to simply pursue the truth, and to conduct a fair trial.
