CALL TO ACTION #733: Keep Impeachment Process Going; Make Your Calls (July 31, 2019)

KEEP IMPEACHMENT PROCESS GOING

MAKE YOUR CALLS  


We are now well into the impeachment process. Be assured that your calls, letters, emails, texts, postcards and whatever else you’ve been doing to communicate your sense of urgency for holding Trump accountable for his despicable behavior has helped impeachment hawks in Congress persuade others to jump on the impeachment train!

Whether or not Trump is ultimately convicted by the Senate after a House vote to impeach is secondary to getting all the facts out in the open. We must never let our MoCs—particularly Complicit Greg Walden—forget that we are still here, relentless in our fight to save American Democracy!

Let’s be sure Senator Merkley knows how much we appreciate his aggressive pro-impeachment process stand.

Let’s get Senator Wyden to join Senator Merkley, get him to strongly voice his support for public impeachment hearings.

Let’s make it clear to Greg Walden that WE WILL PERSIST in our efforts to shine a light on his enabling of Trump’s war on our Constitution, to hold him accountable for NOT holding Trump accountable. 

Keep the Impeachment Process Going

Your Calls Are Important!


**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATOR MERKLEY:

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

. . . I want to thank Senator Merkley for supporting the impeachment process.  I ask him to:

Thank you”

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATOR WYDEN:

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

. . . Trump has committed impeachable offenses. I ask that Senator Wyden join Senator Merkley in supporting the impeachment process and:

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WALDEN:

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

. . . Trump has committed impeachable offenses. I demand that Greg Walden uphold his oath of office and support the impeachment process. Over the recess he must turn his attention to protecting our democracy and:

  • Educate the public on the impeachment process and why it is important;
  • Make sure public impeachment hearings are the first order of business when the House is back in session.

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!
