Dear Senators Booker, Menendez, and McConnell,

I am a retired teacher and the mother of two sons serving in the military.

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senator McSally,

I am an Army wife. Though I have only been [able] to identify as such for the last 18 months, I can attest to the importance of sacrifice in the name of protecting the freedom of our great country. Among our freedoms is the freedom of speech, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to share my concerns with you in this letter.

I have been following the news of the impeachment proceedings by way of impartial news outlets. My investment in the proceedings is much greater than any other occurrence in D.C. than I’d have ever expected.

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

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Booker, McConnell, and Menendez

‘I Care About the Impeachment Proceedings Because My Key Value Has Always Been Truth’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Feinstein and Harris,

I am a constituent, and proud of your wisdom and leadership. I was a lifelong Republican, until these dark years. I’m grateful for my progressive friends who have extended their patience and mercy towards me as I woke up and learned increased empathy and understanding. I’m currently an independent that leans heavily progressive.

As a woman who has worked in the male-dominated tech field, as a mother who sees the challenges first-hand, raising biracial daughters, the issues that matter most to me include equality, inclusiveness, healthcare for all, and safety. The fact that our nation has been on a course that continually veers away from the issues that matter to me and so many families across this nation, is sobering.
