Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY or ZIP CODE].
I’m calling to urge Senator Cassidy to be the first Republican Senator to publicly support the conviction of President Trump in the event he is impeached.
I am concerned for the midterm elections this November as Trump’s administration has previously denied election results, made accusations of fraud, pushed states to redistrict, and even refused to swear in a newly elected official for several weeks.
Senator Cassidy’s 2021 vote to convict Trump for inciting insurrection demonstrates his willingness to put country over party. Please let the Senator know that history remembers the courageous.
Thank you.

Dear Senator Cassidy,
My name is [NAME], and I am a constituent from [CITY or ZIP CODE].
I am writing to urge you to be the first Republican Senator to publicly support the conviction of President Trump in the event he is impeached.
I am concerned for the midterm elections this November as Trump’s administration has previously denied election results, made accusations of fraud, pushed states to redistrict, and even refused to swear in a newly elected official for several weeks.
You have earned a reputation for independence and sound judgement. Your compassion and caring for your fellow Americans is clear throughout your career: you provided free health care to uninsured residents of greater Baton Rouge; you ensured children were safely vaccinated; you set up emergency health care after Hurricane Katrina.
You see Donald Trump clearly: you described the Trump supporters storming the Capitol as sedition and you voted to convict Trump for inciting insurrection. You were unflinching in doing your job to restore law and order and to protect the Constitution of the United States.
I understand this is not an easy task, but history remembers the courageous. You have already demonstrated that you are that kind of person. Put country over party. Make history. Your constituents and your country are counting on you.
Sincerely,
[NAME]
[CITY or ZIP CODE]
