DAYS UNTIL MID-TERM BALLOTS WILL BE MAILED: 21

DAYS UNTIL MID-TERM BALLOTS ARE DUE: 41


STOP CORRUPTION

STOP KAVANAUGH


Corruption: Dishonest proceedings, perversion of integrity.  An earmark of the current administration.

Affluenza:  An inability to understand the consequences of one’s actions because of privileged socioeconomic status.  Famously used as a legal defense by a wealthy young man who killed four pedestrians while driving drunk.  He got probation.

Trump and his administration are rife with corruption and criminal activity –  deceit, collusion and conflict of interest.  The Republican majority Congress — including Complicit Greg Walden — accepts all of it with a wink and a nod, while further enriching themselves and corporations.

Brett Kavanaugh is the epitome of affluenza, born into a wealthy family and sent to exclusive schools where he could make the contacts to succeed among the elite who protect their own. He once quipped that “What happens at Georgetown Prep, stays at Georgetown Prep.”

It’s obscene that a man who has assaulted women with impunity may ascend to the power of the Supreme Court.

The further damage he could inflict on women and all Americans through his votes on vital issues would mean the corruption of the Court for a generation, possibly longer.

We need accountability and a Congress who will demand an end to corruption.

Congress must be flipped!

Kavanaugh must be stopped!!
