‘I’ve Known and Loved Foreign Students, and It Breaks My Heart’

Dear Senator Bennet, Senator Gardner, and Representative Lamborn,

The ICE policy requiring foreign students to return home or transfer when/if their academic institutions feel it wise to go to online-only classes is unfair, unjustly hard on the students both emotionally and financially, and does nothing positive for U.S. interests or influence in the world.

Can’t we change this? I’ve known and loved foreign students, and it breaks my heart.

Regards,
Sally (Colorado)

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

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.

‘It Cracks the Foundation Upon Which Our Country Is Founded and Will Do Irreparable Damage’

Dear Senator Gardner,

As 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.
