Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Mitch McConnell stated this week that he will not allow any direct
witnesses to testify in the Senate impeachment trial against Donald
Trump.^1 This is unacceptable. Mitch McConnell is not fulfilling his oath
of office as Senate majority leader. He should call all direct witnesses
to testify, because Americans have a right to know the truth. 

Mitch McConnell cannot continue to rig the system in favor of a corrupt
and bigoted administration.

Republicans allow witnesses to testify in a fair impeachment trial in the
Senate?

Sign this petition demanding that Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans
allow direct witnesses to testify in the Senate impeachment trial.

The House of Representatives impeaching a sitting president is historic
and deserves to be taken seriously by the Senate. Unfortunately, however,
Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are falling into their political
lines and staying complicit with the greed and corruption of this
administration.

If Mitch McConnell continues to stop witnesses from speaking in front of
the Senate, he is protecting an administration rife with bribery,
obstruction of justice, and corruption.

If this administration has done no wrongdoing, then these direct witnesses
will be able to provide President Trump some very much needed exculpatory
evidence. If there was no wrongdoing, Republicans, McConnell, and this
administration should have nothing to fear from the questioning of
first-hand witnesses.

First-hand, direct witnesses should be required to testify in front of the
Senate for a fair impeachment trial. The American public has a right to
hear the truth.
