MWEG Members in the News
MWEG members all across the United States are writing some fabulous op-eds and letters to the editor about impeachment! Here is a selection of those pieces, with many more to come.
Christie Black :: Arizona Capitol Times
“Since when is ethical government a partisan issue? Is it only a concern when it is an offense from the opposing party? I have followed the impeachment inquiry and the report released this week. The evidence that the president abused his power and then obstructed the inquiry is incredibly compelling. The inquiry did not consist of slanted evidence with hyper-partisan witnesses. The witnesses were people of character, dedicated to their country.”
Alicia Crowley Alba :: Deseret News and Provo Daily Herald
“I am a lifelong conservative and Republican, and I am concerned by our president’s behavior. Facts are stubborn things, and the facts that have been revealed during this impeachment inquiry indicate that President Donald Trump attempted to subvert U.S. foreign policy for his own personal gain.”
Krisy Whitley Gashler :: Albany Times Union
“But with the House impeachment inquiry, Trump’s lawlessness has dragged our country even further into the pit: His refusal to comply with subpoenas, refusal to provide documents required by Congress to fulfill its role as a co-equal branch of government, and threatening and retaliating against those who are fulfilling their patriotic duty to testify before Congress.”
Sharlee Mullins Glenn :: Salt Lake Tribune
“I have grave concerns about what will happen if we don’t reclaim this issue from the clutches of partisanship. Right now, it’s looking like there will be a predictable party line vote to impeach in the House and then a predictable party line vote to acquit in the Senate. We can’t afford for Americans across the political spectrum to have their most cynical beliefs about our political system confirmed and for the country to become even more deeply divided.”
Amanda Johnston Freestone :: Omaha World Herald
“As many Republican leaders justify over and over again the highly questionable actions of the president, never even considering holding him accountable, they are disregarding the Republican Party values of rule of law and commitment to the constitution.”
Eva Michelle Witesman :: Deseret News
“What we are seeing play out in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump is a cautionary tale. Not just of a single man and his political ambitions, but of the toxicity of self-interested business practice and the ways in which it corrupts not just corporate America but American government as well.”
Emma Petty Addams :: Lincoln Journal Star Nebraska
“Blind loyalty to a morally and legally corrupt president will not keep the Republican party alive; it is far more likely to do the opposite. The grave short-sightedness of abusing conservative principles, in the name of ephemeral political gains, destroys confidence in the political system and discredits the beliefs that I hold dear.”
