‘I Don’t Vote by Party, I Vote Based on the Person, the Skills, the Ability to Do Their Job’

Dear Senators Markey and Warren,

I 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 Want to See Witnesses and Relevant Documents’

Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

I am a grandma who lives in West Jordan, Utah. I was in the USO during the Vietnam War and my husband was in the Navy. 

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.

‘I Value the System of Government I Live Under’

Dear Senators Crapo and Risch,

I 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.

‘When You Took the Oath of Office You Swore to Support and Defend the Constitution’

Dear Senators Booker, McConnell, and Menendez

I am a retired teacher and the mother of two sons serving in the military. I have been following the news of the impeachment hearings by watching the live hearings and testimony in Congress and reading local and national newspapers. I care about how the impeachment proceedings in the Senate will be conducted and want to see a full and fair trial by impartial jurors and one in which witnesses are allowed to testify. When you took the oath of office you swore to support and defend the Constitution just as my sons did when they joined the military. The president himself must honor his sworn duty to the Constitution by providing the documents Congress has subpoenaed and allowing his current and former staff to testify.

‘The Framers Intended that the Senate Would Act Independently of the White House’

Dear Senators Peters and Stabenow,

I followed the House’s impeachment proceedings last year. The witnesses we heard were credible and honest, with nothing to gain by testifying. I came to the conclusion that President Trump did indeed direct foreign policy in an effort to benefit himself politically. 

Now it is time for the Senate to conduct its trial. Additional information has surfaced since the House proceedings, and we still haven’t heard from Mick Mulvaney, Mike Pompeo, and John Bolton. Their witness and testimony are vital to get an accurate and complete picture.

‘I Am a Republican, a Mother, and a Native Alaskan’

Dear Senators McConnell, Murkowski, and Sullivan,

I am a Republican, a mother, and a Native Alaskan.

I have been following the news of the impeachment proceedings by listening to the hearings and reading a wide variety of news sources.

I care about the impeachment proceedings because they symbolize the state of our democracy.

I want to see a full and fair trial in the Senate because that is the only way to sustain and uphold the rule of law for all citizens.
