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

January 16, 2020 /

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.

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.

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

January 16, 2020 /

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.
