On February 5, 2020, Senator Mitt Romney gave a speech on the Senate floor to explain his tremendously courageous vote to convict President Trump on one article of impeachment.

I am convinced that freedom itself is dependent on the strength and vitality of our national character. As it is with each senator, my vote is an act of conviction.”

Open Letter:
Dear Senator Romney,
Thank you. Today you spoke out in defense of our constitutional norms and the rule of law. You cast a vote for the balance of powers and the institutional integrity of the Senate. You cast a vote in defense of free elections and the fair exercise of our national power. But most importantly, you cast a vote in defense of truth and with the power of personal conscience.
We join you in expressing our commitment to these principles. As citizens, we are grateful for your willingness to act at great personal cost and express our commitment to find ways that we too will join you in acting courageously in defense of our democracy.
Thank you for your leadership and faithfulness to the principles of American governance.
