The United States cannot afford to have the core of its democratic principles violated, and it is important that allegations of foreign interference in our elections be freely and independently investigated without partisan interference.

As citizens, we must express our concerns to all of our senators and representatives that they uphold their oaths of office — to protect our constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic — and support this investigation to uncover all of the facts and, if need be, bring those responsible swiftly to justice.
