My email to Sen. Grassley

[jayschool2013]

Sent a similar note to Ernst, only thanking her for her military service, and that her colleagues voted to remove Clinton, not her personally.

Dear Senator Grassley:

Thank you for your years of service to Iowa in your various roles in government. However, if you want that legacy to include standing up for the rule of law and the Constitution, you have no choice but to remove Donald J. Trump from the Office of the President when his trial is conducted in the Senate.

The con man in the Oval Office has skirted and flouted the law since his inauguration nearly three years ago. The bribery scandal involving Ukraine and his clear obstruction of Congress — added to the obvious obstruction of justice outlined in the Mueller Report and the emoluments violations charges now finally making their way through U.S. district court — make him a clear and present danger to our republic and our fair system of elections.

Should you choose not to remove President Trump from office, you are sending a loud and clear message to all Iowans that you no longer care about those things we thought mattered — namely the rule of law and the Constitution.

Twenty years ago, you voted to remove President Bill Clinton from office because he lied under oath about an extramarital affair. I will consider it the height of hypocrisy if you don't vote to remove President Trump based on far worse crimes than Clinton committed.

Thank you for your time.

Jeff Browne

1. Recommended.

Do you have an expectations in this matter?

2. From those douchebags?

Maybe a second of conscience. They'll probably just see the IC address and assume I'm a crazy liberal. I'm both crazy and a liberal, but the two aren't tied together in any way.

If 50,000 Iowans did the same, who knows?

3. I will pull together my own letter

Yours is excellent. I agree that Grassley and Ernst are useless.

4. THANKS!

Are you in Iowa?

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Well done!

Any GOP who does not vote to remove him can no longer be considered a patriot.

I wish that wasnt true because it will probably be all of them but that is simply how it is.

6. Direct and to the point.

Do you mind if I copy this to Senator Richard Burr of NC? He did vote for Clinton's impeachment....
Thanks

[jayschool2013]

7. Please do.

Jeff

[Bayard]

8. Good letter

Sadly, my senators are McConnell and Paul.

9. All GOP senators are shit at this point.

And Iowa Republicans are shit too. A recent poll showed Grassley and Ernst's numbers dropping within the GOP. BUT Trump's numbers are still higher than our Senators.

Morons all.

[jayschool2013]

Thanks.

13. Thank you for writing this letter. You gave me inspiration to write a similar letter to Rob Portman

[jayschool2013]

18. You're welcome

14. Well done.

15. Sadly, i fear he will never see it.

and sadder still .... if he did... he wouldn't care.


You can't expect redemption or justice out of people like Grassley, Cruz, Inhofe, Cornyn, Scott, Blunt, Graham, Romney, or least of all McConnell.

16. They only read the ones with checks attached.

Do a "Michael Moore". He sent checks to candidates in the name of Aryan Nation and the Klan. The checks got cashed too. Then he embarrassed them on his old TV show.
