Friend —
I have the greatest admiration for Congressman Adam Schiff. I served with him in the 116th Congress, sat in the depositions of patriots such as Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Marie Yovanovitch, William Taylor, and others.
I saw firsthand the integrity, character, brilliance, and leadership that Representative Schiff brought to the impeachment proceedings, and his greater commitment to saving our democracy from the autocratic and fascist behavior of former President Donald Trump and his followers.
Adam's new book, Midnight in Washington, is a must-read for all of us who are committed to saving our democracy and building a more perfect union. His closing paragraph sums it up best:
“Years from now, when the present is a distant memory, we will look back on this time as a decisive moment for our country, when we were at sea and our destination remained unknown, our future obscure, the great enterprise in self-rule in doubt. Did we turn back towards the shores of our founders, or was this the moment when the clouds descended, the stars disappeared, and we became irretrievably lost? We must understand that we are not passengers on this journey, unable to steer the country we all love in one direction or another. It is within our power to take hold of the rudder, choose the future we want for our children and grandchildren, and, with the grace of God, make it so.”
Our country needs you. We must fight harder than ever before to elect people of character. Men and women who believe in the oath of office they recited. Leaders who are truly committed to serving our country.
