Dear Mr. Hyde,

The action of your committee has forced me to reconsider my support of the Republican Party.

I feel that this impeachment effort poses a far greater danger to this country than Clinton's weaknesses ever could.

I'm far more upset with your committee's actions than I am with Clinton's behavior. He behaved foolishly but you have managed to do worse. Please stop before you make a bad situation worse.
