DEMAND TO LIVE FREE FROM HATE
WITH A LAW ABIDING PRESIDENT
We The People deserve to live free from hate. The Democratic-led House has passed:
- HR 5 – The Equality Act
- HR 6 – The Dream Act
- HR 1585 – The Violence Against Women Act
These bills would allow for our LGBTQ+ and immigrant family to be seen and live full lives.
These bills would allow for the safety of women.
These bills languish in the Senate, held hostage by Senate Majority Leader McConnell, who prides himself on being the “grim reaper” of laws.
We The People also deserve to have a law abiding president. But we have Donald Trump – who has committed impeachable offenses. He and his administration continually obstruct justice and defy subpoenas to hide the truth.
Congress must hold Trump accountable, and this Democratic-led House must put country over party to start the impeachment inquiry immediately.
Help Make That Happen!
Call Congress TODAY!

**OREGON STATE ACTION: WRITE, E-MAIL OR CALL YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES**
In just a few weeks, the state legislative session will end. and there several bills that need a healthy push to make it to the finish line. We will highlight one of those bills each day and provide you with a sample letter that you can use to contact your Oregon state legislators. To find who represents you and their respective contact information, click here.
“[REPRESENTATIVE’S NAME]:
This letter is to let you know that I support HB 2762 / SB 594, the bills that would require that presidential and vice presidential candidates produce five years of tax returns before they can appear on the ballot in Oregon. I ask that you help get these bills passed out of committee and into law before the end of the legislative session.
I strongly believe that voters deserve to know where presidential and vice presidential candidates get their money and whom they owe — before we place them on our state ballot.
I understand that this bill is being countered by a “memorial” bill that would ask the U.S. Congress to require candidates to produce just ONE year of taxes. That bill is unacceptable to me because, with a Republican majority in the Senate, Congressional action won’t happen. We cannot wait on Congress to get the information we need to be informed voters.
Please pass HB 2762/SB 594 out of committee and into law.
Sincerely,
[Name and contact information]”
