Response to: “Political disengagement is a rising threat — When we stop caring about what’s going on in Washington DC, the extremists run amok,” by Abby McCloskey, Opinion published in the Dallas Morning News.

Opinion Letter echo:  What sets our country apart from many other countries in the world is the genius of the U.S Constitution. Not always perfect, it strives to make our country a more perfect union. 

Moreover, I find ironic those who professed admiration for our Constitution in the tea party movement are the same people who want to rip it to pieces by ignoring the many malfeasances in office by Donald Trump.

Asking a foreign country to do opposition research of a political opponent is in my view, against the law, i.e. the Hatch Act. If not against the law, then this action is an abuse of power that makes the presidency, our Constitution and country weaker. Do we want to leave our children and future Americans a country that can’t function democratically? I don’t.

Those who support Trump, please listen to the evidence provided by the impeachment inquiry with an open mind. Consider what is at stake for the country, not the election prospects for Trump. What he has done in regards to shoring up his election prospects is grave. And it should worry us all.
