The loudest ones

It can’t get much louder than this. Those under oath in the impeachment proceedings have confirmed the duplicity of the actions related to Ukraine, while those not under oath keep shouting about being wronged. Those with evidence present it, and those with none make noise while obstructing efforts to get to the truth. When asked to come under oath and testify, they refuse.

We are told that registered Republicans such as Robert Mueller, James Comey and many within the president’s circle who speak up have become left-wing radicals. We are told those who are indicted or convicted were acting of their own accord. But with Ukraine there is evidence that aid was being tied, not to doing something for the United States, but doing something for the president’s personal campaign - to investigate his rival’s family.

It’s not really as much about being Democrat or Republican, but about doing what is right. We have criminals using the presidency for their own ends. If you vote for that, then what does that say about you? Will good people see through the shams being presented by those not under oath, and realize the truth is with those who are? Some might be Democrats, but many are not.

There may be no Senate convictions, but the American people will send a message in November - a message to your children and your children’s children about how we responded to this. I hope you vote for truth and not for those who are speaking the loudest.
