Dear Senator Romney,
I want to thank you, most sincerely, for voting to
remove Donald Trump from office during last week's Senate impeachment
trial. It took real courage and could
not have been an easy or comfortable stance for you to take.
You (and quite probably your entire family) will face
backlash because of this vote. The fact that you understand this and were able
to put your personal comfort and safety aside to vote your conscious speaks
volumes about the kind of person that you are. Not the kind of politician that
you are...but the kind of person that you are. You read, you listened, you asked questions,
deliberated thoughtfully, and ultimately you voted to convict Donald Trump
based on the facts as well as your personal beliefs about the oath that you
took as a US Senator to uphold the ideals and principles of the Constitution.
I was moved by your speech when you said, "Corrupting
an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and
destructive violation of one's oath of office that I can imagine" because
I feel exactly the same way. So thank
you for putting that out to the world as simply and clearly as you did. It will resonate, hopefully, with those
who have not bought into the cult of personality that this man's presidency has
become.
Your act of bravery meant something to me. I just wanted you to know that.
Sincerely, Your New Friend in Vermont,
Amy Beaton
