Andrew Kramer: Our democracy depends on removing Trump from office

This is an urgent appeal. As the only Republican senator with the moral fortitude to speak the truth during this unprecedented political crisis, your bold leadership is essential if we’re to preserve our republic.

As a first step, I implore you to honor your oath of office by voting to require a fair and impartial Senate trial including witness testimony. Polls show 71% of Americans, including 64% of Republicans, want witness testimony. Further, I urge you to convince your GOP colleagues to uphold justice and do likewise. McConnell’s unethical obstruction is undermining our democracy.

Clearly, there is far more at stake than Donald Trump’s illegal attempt to coerce Ukraine to find political dirt on Joe Biden and Trump’s ongoing obstruction of Congress.
