Open Letter to Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz

Dec. 30, 2019

Dear Senators:

It’s time to stand up for America. It’s time to be a patriot. It’s time to do the job we elected you to do. It’s time to obey the oath you swore to the Constitution.

Only you and the other 98 members of the Senate can save this nation. It might well be the most perilous moment in our history. An amoral, and possibly insane, president has perverted our government. He has exhorted elements of our society to attend to their worst, most violent and self-interested instincts. Inept, and at times corrupt, elements of the media propelled him to power and continue false narratives to keep him there. Personal and corporate greed fueled his rise. They have installed all the elements needed for a totalitarian takeover of our democracy. Members of Congress including you, who value power of office and re-election above all else, have perverted our government. You have become a sycophant branch, parroting his every lie and minimizing his every traitorous act.

Some Senators, including you Sen. Cornyn, have said you don’t need to hear evidence from witnesses or see documents relevant to the articles of impeachment. We do. We deserve to know the full extent of what has been done in our name and with our treasure. Few Republican Senators have shown any indication they will obey the oath they must take to sit as jurors in the impeachment trial. Please do not perjure yourself. That betrays the Constitution and is a crime against the nation and our people.

There is time to save the United States of America. You have a chance to redeem yourself. New, incriminating facts come to light every day. Seize that as a reason to change your mind to allow a fair process in the president’s trial. Read Matthew 6:6 and do the right thing.

Your Constituent,

Kathy Williams
