For Walden:
I am very disappointed the Representative voted against impeaching Trump. Right matters. I ask that he put country over party and insist on a fair and transparent Senate impeachment trial with witnesses and documents as well as full access for the press. It is up to him and his GOP colleagues to show the world right matters.

BACKGROUND:
This a historic precipice on which we find ourselves. The House managers heroically built the case to remove Trump. They stood up for our country, our constitution, our democracy. They showed the world, right matters.
We are also here because of our work. Our organizing won the House back. Our organizing made the case for an impeachment inquiry and propelled Trump’s impeachment.
Trump’s defense continues. Per Representative Schiff, Trump’s lawyers “ . . . don’t contest the facts of Trump’s scheme. They’re trying to deflect, distract from, and distort the truth. And they are continuing to cover it up by blocking documents and witnesses.”
We must keep calling for a fair Senate impeachment trial with witnesses and documents.
The GOP must decide – does right matter? Do witnesses and documents matter? Do threats to Members of Congress matter? Each of them must look to their hearts and decide. They now hold the power to show the world that right matters.
If right matters to the GOP they will vote for a fair trial with witnesses and documents. If they chose to protect Trump and abandon what is right, we will elect a new Senate that will uphold our constitution.
