CALL TO ACTION #725: We Must Protect Our Elections (July 19, 2019)

WE MUST PROTECT OUR ELECTIONS 


Trump has finally said what we all knew to be true. In his and his GOP’s America you are only welcome if you are white. We must elect both a new president and a different Congress in 2020 to make it clear this racist man does not speak for our country. To do this, we need secure elections.

The Mueller report clearly outlined that the 2016 election was attacked by a foreign power. Candidate Trump welcomed this foreign interference and, when the interference was investigated, Trump did everything he could to obstruct the investigation. We must have an impeachment inquiry to investigate the 2016 elections and Trump’s obstruction.

Senator Wyden has been sounding the alarm for months about election security and has bills ready to address the known issues at hand. The Democratic-led House has passed legislation to protect our elections. Senate Majority Leader McConnell refuses to take up these bills, leaving our elections vulnerable to foreign interference again.

Where’s Walden? NOT Protecting the Vote!

Free and fair elections are the bedrock of a democracy. 

Start Impeachment Proceedings NOW!

Pass Bills to Safeguard Elections!


**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**


SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATOR WYDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . .

I am very worried about Trump’s hateful, racist rhetoric and the security of our elections. I thank the Senator for doing all he has to sound the alarm on election security.  Now I ask that he:

  • Do all he can to get the SAFE (Securing America’s Federal Elections) Act and the PAVE (Protecting American Votes and Elections) Acts passed in the Senate
  • Publicly, and on all channels, call for an immediate impeachment inquiry to investigate the foreign inference in our elections and Trump’s obstruction of justice

Thank you.”


SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATOR MERKLEY:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . .

I am very worried about Trump’s hateful, racist rhetoric and the security of our elections. I ask that he:

  • Do all he can do to get the SAFE (Securing America’s Federal Elections) Act and the PAVE (Protecting American Votes and Elections) Act passed in the Senate
  • Publicly and on all channels call for an immediate impeachment inquiry to investigate the foreign inference in our elections and Trump’s obstruction of justice

Thank you.”

**ACTION TWO: CALL COMPLICIT GREG WALDEN**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WALDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . .

. . . I am very worried about Trump’s hateful, racist rhetoric and the security of our elections. I am also outraged that Greg did not support the SAFE (Securing America’s Federal Elections) Act. I demand that he finally put country before party to:

  • Do all he can do to pass the PAVE (Protecting American Votes and Elections) Act
  • Publicly and on all channels call for an immediate impeachment inquiry to investigate the foreign inference in our elections and Trump’s obstruction of justice

Through Greg Walden’s actions and inactionshis silence has been deafeninghe appears to fully support Trump, regardless of how much damage Trump is doing to our democracy and to world stability. Know that we are still here, we will hold him accountable, we are working to flip his seat BLUE — #2020IsNow!

Thank you.”
