LETTERS: ADVICE TO SENATORS, VICE PRESIDENT

To the editor:

Here is a letter for U.S. senators:

I am a citizen of the United States and reside in Missouri. I obey the laws of my country and abide by the laws. This makes people in the United States equal under the laws with govern us with no exceptions.

As a U.S. senator, it is your duty and obligation to vote to remove William Jefferson Clinton from the office he now holds as president of the United States for his disregard for the office and our laws we are governed by. Do not accept any compromise for his conduct of lying under oath. We have the time for the impeachment trial in the Senate, and we must keep the integrity of our country unblemished.

This letter will be sent to all 100 senators in Washington, D.C. I am asking every one of our senators to rise about self-interest and vote for Clinton's impeachment in a timely manner. With this letter I have done my duty. Now you must do your.

Here is a letter for Vice President Al Gore:

Vice President Gore, your roots go deep in American politics. I knew your father (I'm 70 year old). We both had registered Angus cattle in the past. He was a fine person, and I know you are also. You would have to be, being his son.

I know you are in a very awkward position at this time, and I regret that a fine person like yourself has to be caught up in something like what William Jefferson Clinton has done.

What do you say to your own children about this actions? We as American citizens must put duty above all else. What would I give in exchange for my soul? Your duty is to yourself and your family.

Polls reflect their own opinions, not the feelings of the average American citizen. No one person is irreplaceable. Our country will not fall, not because we removed Clinton from office, but because we have put greed and power above the laws of our country.

What do you tell the next person when he puts his hand on the Bible and swears to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
