John,

Going into the critical impeachment vote this week, it’s
important for you to know exactly what is in the articles of
impeachment that the House of Representatives will be voting on.

The vote will include two articles of impeachment:

1. Abuse of Power

2. Obstruction of Congress

President Donald Trump betrayed the nation and abused the
powers of the Presidency by attempting to enlist a foreign power
to interfere in the upcoming Presidential election to help him
win while hurting his chief rival, Joe Biden.

Cheating to win is wrong, and forcing a foreign power to
help him cheat is even worse. President Trump held up nearly $400
million in congressionally approved critical military aid that
Ukraine needed to defend itself from Russia, demanding that
President Zelensky first announce the Biden investigation.

President Trump put his personal interests ahead of our
nation’s security, and that of our ally, to the benefit of our
adversary-Russia.

A President should never use that high office to conspire
with a foreign nation in pursuit of personal gain. A President
should never use their power to subvert our elections.

Then, when Speaker Pelosi announced the beginning of the
impeachment inquiry, President Trump announced that he and his
administration would refuse to cooperate. He thereafter
categorically and indiscriminately defied duly issued
congressional subpoenas by ordering administration officials not
to appear for testimony, and by failing to produce documents. In
obstructing Congress’ ability to exercise its investigatory
authority as a co-equal branch of government, President Trump
committed Obstruction of Congress.

John, our nation is built on a
system of checks and balances. Our President is not a king — he
is subject to accountability from Congress. He is not above the
law. Congress is a co-equal branch of government, not his rubber
stamp. We live in a Democracy, not a Monarchy.

I shudder to think of where we would be in this
impeachment process had it not been for the courage of those
public servants who defied President Trump and came before
Congress to reveal the truth. I thank them for their service to
our nation.

Oftentimes, it comes down to everyday people engaging in
the process and doing what is right for the truth to prevail.

That’s why it’s so important for you to continue
following this process, John. I know
it can sometimes be frustrating and exhausting, but our democracy
counts on you being informed and taking action.

I’ll be in touch soon with more updates --

Yours,

Hank
