DAYS UNTIL MID-TERM BALLOTS ARE DUE: 69


STOP TRUMP’S AND GOP’S CORRUPTION NOW


Donald Trump is overseeing the most corrupt administration of our lifetime, despite his promise to “drain the swamp,” and the GOP—GREG WALDEN— is enabling him:

  • Five Trump associates are now convicted felons (Manafort, Cohen, Flynn, Gates, Papadopoulos); many more linked to criminal wrongdoing, including his first two boosters who have been indicted — Collins for insider trading, Hunter for misusing campaign funds
  • Two Cabinet members resigned over corruption allegations; at least four others are under investigation for ethical transgressions; many aides left in disgrace
  • The Trumps continue to use their businesses for personal gain
  • Trump abuses his power to punish perceived adversaries, including yanking security clearances from critics
  • Cohen’s guilty plea implicated Trump in an illegal campaign finance scheme; Trump’s 2020 campaign offered Omarosa Newman $15,000/month for her silence
  • Trump is under investigation for conspiring with a hostile foreign power to interfere with the 2016 election and obstructing the investigation and is being sued for using his charity for financial/political benefit

To combat this brazen corruption, Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced wide-ranging anti-corruption legislation (S.3357):

  • Bans government officials from becoming lobbyists
  • Toughens conflict-of-interest rules/judicial ethics
  • Regulates/restricts corporate lobbyists; ends their control over rulemaking

Pass Anti-Corruption Legislation NOW! 


**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR MERKLEY AND WYDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent and voter from [city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling to express my utter dismay at the level of corruption of the Trump Administration and its GOP congressional allies. We must take control of our government and make sure it works for all Americans, not just the rich and powerful. Towards this end, I urge the Senator to support Senator Warren’s Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act (S.3357) and work for its passage. It is also imperative to stop Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination from going forward unless all his documents are produced and the Mueller investigation clears Trump. Thank you.”
