Dear Mr. Speaker,
Republicans love to remind people that they are the Party of
Lincoln for all of the greatness and gravitas that that evokes. They said it so much at the 2016 national
convention that it began to sound like a college drinking game. But that's OK. Abraham Lincoln was a brave and noble leader,
someone to be proud of and worth striving to emulate. But here's what the Republican Party is
facing today... being known for the next 100 years as the Party of Trump. Are you prepared for that and for all of the ego-maniacal ridiculousness that that evokes?
Donald Trump needs to be impeached and removed from
office. Now. Today.
Not next month and not the next time he does or says something extreme
or stupid (or extremely stupid). But
right now. We the people of the United
States of America deserve better than a president who can't tell fact from
fiction, who's emotional instability is on public display daily, who doesn't
understand the rules and responsibilities of the office (and who shows no
desire to learn about them), who can't speak in complete or coherent sentences,
who puts his very fragile ego ahead of the needs of the people, who is not
willing to publicly disavow Nazi supporters, who lies and deceives and is in
personal debt to foreign nations. This
is not OK with me and it is becoming increasingly not OK with the majority of
Americans.
So how about it... are you ready to be remembered as a
member of the Party of Trump? Have you
thought about your legacy as Speaker of the House and how it will feel to be
known as the guy who didn't stop Donald Trump when he had the chance? Well now is the time to start thinking about
it. Don't be the man who stood silently
by and watched but refused to take a stand.
As Albert Einstein so famously said, "The world is a dangerous
place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and
do nothing."
As Speaker of the House you can act to remove Donald Trump
from office now. Before it is too late.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
