‘I Care About the Impeachment Proceedings Because I Care About the Discernment of Truth, and the Discovery of Evidence’

January 31, 2020 /

Dear Senators Jones and Shelby,

I am a constituent who reaches out to my representatives when I feel strongly about issues. I am a mother of three, an artist, and currently obtaining my MSW (master’s in social work) from Samford University. I care deeply about ethical practices in all aspects of society, from community issues to Washington politics.

I have been following the news of the impeachment proceedings by listening to a significant portion of the hearing in the House and trial in the Senate.

‘A Functional Democracy Requires That Our Elected Representatives Tell Us the Truth’

Because of him and the complicity of the Republicans in both the House and the Senate, I can no longer call myself a Republican. I am now an Independent.

‘I Can Attest to the Importance of Sacrifice in the Name of Protecting Freedom’

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. Truthfully, I feel a great need to pay close attention, for I fear that work in my government is being done dishonestly.
