‘Please Consider Your Legacy and How History Will Remember Where You Stand’

January 30, 2020 /

Dear Senator Lee,

I am a registered Republican, a temple recommend-holding 71-year-old grandmother, and one of your constituents. I have followed and witnessed with increasing despair the shocking and blatant disregard by our current president for moral decency, common courtesy, and basic civility in his speech and in his dealings, both at home and abroad. This hubris has led him to commit unlawful and unconstitutional acts for which the House of Representatives has impeached him.

‘It Is Constitutionally Appropriate to Hold Our President and Other Elected Officials Accountable’

January 30, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee, McConnell, and Romney,

I am a mother and a patriotic American.

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

I care about the impeachment proceedings because I believe we should have an ethical and moral government free from interference from outside influence.

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

January 30, 2020 /

Dear Senator Lee,

You and I will probably never agree on whether the Senate should convict Donald Trump on the charges brought by the House of Representatives. However, I hope this open letter will persuade you to stop repeating certain falsehoods about Trump’s Ukraine scandal. A functional democracy requires that our elected representatives tell us the truth — not parrot discredited talking points.

‘It Is Important the Trial Moves Forward in a Fair Manner, Where Sworn Witnesses Can Be Called’

January 29, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

I am a constituent and a mother who has been following the impeachment process. I am concerned about the impeachment proceedings due to Senator McConnell’s willingness to work with the White House, instead of in the best interests of our country. It is important the trial moves forward in a fair manner, where sworn witnesses can be called and all information is regarded with impartiality.

I agree with the enclosed statement on impeachment by Mormon Women for Ethical Government.

Sincerely,
Maurena (Utah)

‘The Right to a Full and Fair Trial Is a Fundamental Tenant of our Democracy’

January 29, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

Thank you for your time and service. I am writing to strongly urge the U.S. Senate to hold a full and fair impeachment trial of Donald Trump’s actions relating to Ukraine. The right to a full and fair trial is a fundamental tenant of our democracy and it should be applied at the highest levels of government the same as to any trial, of any individual accused of wrongdoing. Key witnesses must be heard and jurors must be impartial, not beholden to party affiliations or personal loyalties. Such bias would disqualify a juror in any US court of law.

‘Do What Is Right, Let the Consequence Follow’

January 24, 2020 /

Dear Senators Romney and Lee, 

24 years ago, when I was a 16-year-old attending Girls State at Southern Utah University, I threw back my shoulders and proudly declared, “I love my government, but I hate politics.” That was how I “ran” for our mock House of Representatives, and it has felt like an honest statement to me in all the years since. 

On the edge of a new decade, I look out my front window at the summit of Mount Timpanogos and I feel much the same. But now, rather than feeling pride and confidence in our government, I feel a deep sense of dread and disillusionment.

‘I Have Been Overwhelmed With Worry About Our Country’

January 23, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

I am writing to you again to encourage you to continue to act in a bipartisan manner and insist on a fair and full impeachment trial in the Senate. Judging from the House hearings, it is entirely clear that more witnesses and more documentation are required for the full proceedings of President Trump’s call in July to be clearly laid out and revealed.

‘No Man Should Seek to Circumvent the Full Process of Law’

January 17, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

I am writing you to encourage you to thoroughly support a full, fair, and impartial trial of the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.  As a citizen of the United States, he should be accorded the right to a fair and impartial trial. As the president of the United States, he should be held accountable for his actions and have the right to have them reviewed in an impartial manner. No man should be above the law and no man should be denied the right to a full, unbiased trial. No man should seek to circumvent the full process of law.

‘I Love the U.S., the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and Government of the People, by the People and for the People’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

I am a constituent currently registered as a Republican voter, mother, attorney, former teacher, community activist, patriotic American, and someone who has been contacting my representatives for years.

I have been following the news of the impeachment proceedings by reading a wide variety of news sources and reading the public documents.

I care about the impeachment proceedings because I love the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and government of the people, by the people and for the people.
