Folks,
Only 7 Republican Senators found the courage to do what’s right and vote to convict Donald Trump.
As for the other 43 Republican Senators who voted not guilty -- they know that they are wrong.
They knew exactly who Trump was from the beginning. GOP leaders like Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, and Ted Cruz warned of the risk Trump posed to our country before he became the leader of their party -- and before whatever duty they felt to the American people became dwarfed by their own cowardice and self-interest.
But as my friend and lead House impeachment manager Jamie Raskin said in his closing argument on the floor of the Senate, quoting Benjamin Franklin, “Wrong is always growing more wrong until there is no bearing it anymore, and right, however opposed, comes right at last."
Right will come at last -- but only if we remain vigilant in defense of our 244 year-old experiment in democracy. Our work is far from over -- will you make a $5 contribution today to defend our district and our values?
Thank you,
Sean Casten
