Dear Senator Sasse,
I was born and raised in Nebraska, and am very proud of my
roots in the Cornhusker State. As in your career, my professional life has
moved me far away, to New Jersey in my case. Despite this, I still feel a very
special connection to my home state and feel that I have enough invested in it
that its representatives in Congress should listen to what I have to say.
When it comes to politics there is not a lot that we agree
about. For example, I am a social democrat, you are proponent of unfettered
capitalism. That being said, you strike me as an intelligent person with a
sense of public responsibility.
I also know that during the presidential primary last year
that you were pointedly critical of Donald Trump. I assume then that his recent
action firing James Comey alarmed you as it did me. This was a naked attempt by
the president to stop an investigation of his administration. This is an
obvious obstruction of justice, and must not be allowed to stand.
At the very least, we need to have an independent prosecutor
investigating the president. If President Trump is allowed to fire Comey
without consequence, then we are not really living in a constitutional system
anymore.
Democrats alone do not have the votes to get an independent prosecutor.
It is now time for Republicans such as yourself to put country over party. The
people of this country and the people of Nebraska deserve nothing less.
Sincerely,
Jason Tebbe
Good luck. I've gotten nothing but boiler plate platitudes hawking the party line from my dozens of calls and emails to his office. I did note his (relative) responsible showing in the Yates hearing, to give him credit.
