‘The Republican Party Which I Have Long Supported Has Turned a Blind Eye’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senator Portman,

I am a Cincinnati resident and have long admired your bipartisan efforts in the past, especially in your cooperation with Senator Brown. I have been closely following the impeachment hearings in the House as well as the details surrounding the President’s questionable affiliations with foreign governments. Because my husband studied how Putin uses Russian propaganda during his graduate studies, we recognized Trump’s troubling patterns before he was even elected and have been appalled that the Republican party which I have long supported has turned a blind eye and even defended his actions.

‘I’m Concerned That the Minds of Many Senators Are Already Made Up’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senator Portman,

I have been following the impeachment proceedings very closely. I’m concerned that the minds of many Senators are already made up, before the proceedings in the Senate have even begun. Senator, I know you are a reasonable man. I follow your legislation through your website and through your Facebook page. I believe you will do the right thing and allow witnesses to testify at the impeachment hearing. I want to see a full and fair trial — complete with witnesses — because this is the only way to get to the truth of the matter.

‘I Believe You to Be an Ethical and Diplomatic Leader’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senator Romney,

I am so pleased that you are serving in the United States Senate, as I believe you to be an ethical and diplomatic leader, and one that we desperately need right now. I am a Republican from Sandy, and it’s been my privilege to be somewhat involved politically, as a Republican state delegate and precinct chair. I’ve recently become involved with Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) because I see a desperate need for ethical and moderate Republican voices to be heard.

‘Each Senator Is Required by Constitutional Oath to Be an Impartial Juror’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee, McConnell, and Romney,

I am a seventy year old Utahan and in all my years I have never been so fearful for the fate of the country I love. I have always voted but it has only been during this presidency that I have felt the need to contact my representatives on a regular basis. I have been shocked and saddened by the unethical, cruel and petty actions of our current president. His actions on Ukraine are just the tipping point.

‘We Are far Above the Pettiness That Has Become Part of the Political Process’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Lee and Romney,

I have been following the news of the impeachment proceedings by listening to the hearings, reading a wide variety of news sources, reading the public documents, listening to various news sources and am disappointed in the partisanship the whole process was conducted. Please, as you participate in hearings in the Senate, please promote a full and fair impartial trial, subpoena and hear from sworn witnesses, and conduct the trial without prejudice and partisanship.

‘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.

‘I Value the System of Government I Live Under’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Crapo and Risch,

I am a republican, physician, father of three, soon to be four, and a long-time Idahoan with deep Idaho roots on both sides of my family. My father was in the Air Force and I grew up living on military bases, learning patriotism and respect for my local and national elected leaders. I value the system of government I live under and support as a U.S. citizen.

‘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 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.

‘The Framers Intended that the Senate Would Act Independently of the White House’

January 16, 2020 /

Dear Senators Peters and Stabenow,

I followed the House’s impeachment proceedings last year. The witnesses we heard were credible and honest, with nothing to gain by testifying. I came to the conclusion that President Trump did indeed direct foreign policy in an effort to benefit himself politically. 

Now it is time for the Senate to conduct its trial. Additional information has surfaced since the House proceedings, and we still haven’t heard from Mick Mulvaney, Mike Pompeo, and John Bolton. Their witness and testimony are vital to get an accurate and complete picture.
