‘You Swore to Defend the Constitution Just as My Sons Did When They Joined the Military’

Dear Senators Booker, Menendez, and McConnell,

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.

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.
