Let's make them feel the 69-71% of Americans who wish to see witnesses. Contact info.:

Even a letter of only a few sentences using whatever main argument you wish (openness, fairness, public's right to know, take Constitution seriously, etc.) would be felt. Even if your senators are already "in the tank," every letter will lend itself to a mass that will make them waver about the rules.


Here are the email addresses for all senators:

Thanks for the encouragement. When I was writing the letter I had doubts it was worth doing, but your post makes me feel better.

Dear Senator Kennedy,

I am sure you realize the importance of the impeachment issue before the Senate. I hope you will use the “trial,” to disclose what occurred and not be complicit in covering it up.

You will be remembered in history for what you do in the next week or so. Please represent Louisiana proudly and do due diligence in the trial by allowing evidence and witnesses to be included in a timely matter.

Sincerely,


Willard Fox

I mentioned that I agreed with the majority of Americans in demanding witnesses and the production of documents.

I heard it, but it was from a rushed commentator only once, whereas I've heard both 69% and 71% more than once the past few days.

numbers, so if you can't get through to the DC office, you can call the ones in the home state. I called local offices for Cruz and Cornyn. I have them in my contact list in case I need them.

I got live personnel on both calls
