Letter to the editor:

Lead with courage, not fear

On his website, Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., states that he and 11 other Republican senators “urged” Attorney General Jeff Sessions to stop the “zero tolerance” policy of separating families at the southern border.

What happened to the other 39 Republicans? Do they agree with Sessions? Why didn’t Heller and the 11 Republicans demand that Sessions stop this inhumane practice? Are they afraid of President Donald Trump?

Even though you may feel your hands are tied, you can still do the right thing. Our legislators should do their duties and follow their conscience, not their fears. Some voters will take note of that.

Right and wrong should not be a partisan issue.
