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.

Senator, you can have a “Profiles in Courage” moment and do what your heart dictates, not what your party is demanding of you. I voted for you, Sir. I believe in you.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth (Ohio)
