POLITICAL COVER FOR YOUR VOTE FOR ACQUITTAL

   Dear Senator:
   
   Perhaps you are a Republican who is leaning toward acquittal of
   President Clinton. You know in your heart that he should not actually
   be removed from office, but you are concerned that some other
   Republicans might consider you a traitor if you vote for acquittal.
   After all, you have made the decision to be a Republican, and you
   still believe in the Party despite the excesses of its more volatile
   elements. (We Democrats have volatile elements in our party, too, as
   you know.)
   
   So what can you do? How can you vote for acquittal and still be
   accepted as a Good Republican among your colleagues and constituents?
   
   Please consider this as a friendly suggestion from a fellow citizen, a
   citizen who wishes you well and wants you to succeed:
   
   The very safest, most reliable political cover for you is to base your
   explanation on a core value that almost everybody understands and
   accepts. You don't need to say that you approve of Bill Clinton or
   that you are happy he is President. And you don't need to criticize
   any of your fellow Republicans in any way. All you need to say is
   this:


       "In our system of justice, an accused person is presumed to
        be innocent of a crime until he is proven guilty beyond a
        reasonable doubt. This presumption of innocence applies
        to all people, to presidents no less than to any other
        person. In my judgment, Clinton was not proven guilty of
        any crime beyond a reasonable doubt."


   That's all you have to tell anybody. Almost nobody can seriously
   criticize you for taking this position.
   
   Blessings to you as you continue to work for the happiness and
   well-being of all Americans.

   Sincerely

     Bill McGinnis  <><
