Dear Senator McConnell,

There are 3.4 million American citizens on the island of Puerto Rico right now without food, water, or electricity.  When asked about relief services and FEMA support Donald Trump said,

            "This is an island sitting in the middle of an ocean.  It's a big ocean.  It's

            a very big ocean."

Is this seriously OK with you?  Is this the type of leadership that you can honestly and truly stand behind and support?  Are you really NOT ashamed to be associated with this man?

Sincerely,

Amy Beaton

Dear Mr. Speaker,

Hey, remember way back in October 2015 when you took that oath of office to be Speaker of the House that said, "I, Paul Ryan, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic"? I know it was two full years ago, but it was a big day and a nice ceremony so I though you might remember it.  Well, you did take that oath and now it's time to honor it by "defending the Constitution" (and the American people) against a "domestic" enemy.  His name is Donald Trump and through a quirk of the Electoral College and a little help from the Russian government, he is now the President of the United States.  Unfortunately, he is also unstable, unqualified and dangerous.

Mr. Trump is currently in a twitter war with several major sports teams and professional athletes.  Normally I wouldn't care about this except that his twitter war is a huge distraction from:

            - possible nuclear war with North Korea (the most dangerous and unpredictable

              country in the world)

            - health care reform

            - tax reform

            - disaster relief for Puerto Rico

            - his campaign's collusion with Russia

            - his senior staff using personal emails to conduct official White House business

With this many other critical issues on the White House agenda it just seems ridiculous to me that our commander in chief is fueling the flames of racial and socio-economic tensions by twitter-feuding with professional athletes.

I believe that Mr. Trump poses a threat to the American people and is causing long-term damage to our democracy and social fabric.  Please honor the oath that you took as Speaker of the House and defend the Constitution by removing this man from office...before it's too late.

Thank you.

Yours Most Sincerely,

Amy Beaton

P.S.  Those 3.4 million people in Puerto Rico without food, water or electricity are actually American citizens.  Just so you know.

Dear Mr. Speaker,

There is no law against being a douchebag, but there is one that says a douchebag can't be the President of the United States (I'm paraphrasing of course).

It's time for you to reacquaint yourself with some Constitutional Law and bring forth articles of impeachment against Donald Trump in the House of Representatives.  It will be difficult.  It will be uncomfortable.  But it is also the right thing to do and you have a legal and moral obligation to do it.

Sincerely,

Amy Beaton

Dear Senator McConnell,

Like most Americans I have been glued to the news coverage of the twitter war between Donald Trump and the NFL (specifically those players who have chosen to bend their knee, lock arms, or not be present during the singing of the national anthem).  And I hear a lot of people talking about the pros and cons of the athletes' protests, but the conversation that we really need to be having is how inappropriate Donald Trump's tweets and opinions are.  Donald Trump is the President of the United States and the most powerful leader in the entire world and he is in a twitter war with professional athletes.  Take a moment to read that sentence again and really let it sink in, because it is totally outrageous and needs to be addressed by people in power such as your self.

For months I have been writing to politicians about how unfit for office Mr. Trump is and this is yet another example of how his words create a harmful, dangerous, and violent situation for our citizens. 

You already know that hundreds of thousands of Americans reject the legitimacy of the Trump presidency.  You also know that millions of Americans believe he is unfit for office and should be impeached.  And now, thanks to the 24 hour news cycle and our fearless freaky leader's access to twitter, you know that hundreds of professional athletes, owners, and staffers oppose his divisiveness and racial biases as well.   Well I am one of the tens of thousands of fans who are also outraged by the President's tweets and whole-heartedly support the athletes' right to peaceful protest in whatever way they see fit.  But what I am angry about is the government that is doing nothing to reign in or remove someone who is as obviously unstable as Donald Trump is. 

When do you admit that you have a responsibility to act?  We are now at a point where a full 3/4ths of the entire country oppose this man.  This is a clear vote of no confidence by the American people.  This is nearly a crisis of government.  This is your sign that the time to act is NOW.

On Saturday night when musician Stevie Wonder performed in New York he got to his knees on the stage and said,  "I’m taking both knees.  Both knees in prayer for our planet, our future, our leaders of the world and our globe."  This perfectly sums up the problem that is Donald Trump.  He is not just eccentric or erratic he is a danger to our future and our entire world.  Please vote to begin impeachment proceedings against him before he further tears the fragile social fabric of our country.

Sincerely,

Amy Beaton
