Weekly Report  Friday 31 March 2023  Dear Friends,  This week our country endured yet another tragedy. Six people, including three precious 9-year-olds, were killed in Nashville in a horrific shooting at their elementary school. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for our nation’s children. I pray there will be a collective examination of conscience by every Member of Congress because each one has a responsibility to address these tragedies.

It was a historic week in Washington as the Senate voted to acquit President Trump on two articles of impeachment. Every Democratic senator supported removal from office. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) voted to convict the President for abuse of power, and all other Republican senators voted to acquit the President. In my view, it was not a fair trial.
