VOTE TO KEEP RUSSIA SANCTIONS
#TrumpRussia
#RussiaGate
US intelligence agencies definitively state that Russia attacked the United States 2016 elections. It was ONLY the Russians http://politi.co/2tA35v4.
Evidence keeps pouring in showing the extent of the Russian attack:
– 39 states’ voting apparatus were attacked
— attempts were made to change or delete voter data

Russia denies interfering in our elections. And by all accounts Trump takes Russia at their word http://cnn.it/2uFhPZM. He dismisses US intelligence agencies and says anyone could have done it http://wapo.st/2sU1gfe.
President Obama enacted sanctions against Russia for this brazen attack to undermine our democracy. And Trump is working to undo those sanctions:
— the state department was pressured to lift sanctions
— the Trump Administration is looking to give Russia back a compound in Maryland

Congress had a chance to send a message to Russia. The Senate passed S 722, which strengthens Russian sanctions, 98-2. But House leadership has put the bill on hold. http://reut.rs/2t7txfw.
Congress must show it can be a check on the executive branch and provide oversite on Trump. The Senate passed S 722, now…
IT IS TIME FOR THE HOUSE LEADERS TO DO THEIR JOB!
STRENGTHEN THE SANCTIONS!
**ACTION 1: CALL CONGRESSMAN WALDEN**

Please ask Congressman Walden to do all he can to get S 722 to a vote on the floor of the House, and ask him to vote YES.
