CALL TO ACTION #734: Stop Trump’s Criminal and Impeachable Behavior (August 1, 2019)

STOP TRUMP’S CRIMINAL

AND

IMPEACHABLE BEHAVIOR 


Trump’s administration continues to violate human rights in pursuit of its’ white nationalist agenda.  It’s also violating domestic and international immigration and refugee laws:

  • Despite a court ruling to end family separation, over 900 children have been taken from their parents in the past year. Federal agents simply use a loophole meant to protect children. Charges against parents are frequently minor infractions such as traffic tickets or even a claim that a father failed to change a diaper
  • Criminally inhumane conditions at border detention facilities continue and more prison camps are being built
  • U.S. citizens with government-issued IDs and Spanish surnames are being arrested and detained
  • Trump seeks to deny asylum to all refugees who pass through another country to reach the U.S.
  • Trump’s Attorney General unilaterally reversed a ruling on U.S. asylum law which extends protection to families of asylum seekers who are fleeing violence or persecution

Where’s Walden?

Silently Supporting Trump’s Racism!

Trump is clear that the purpose behind his policies is to keep black and brown refugees from seeking haven in our country by any means possible, including intimidation and fear.

His actions are not only abhorrent they are crimes and impeachable offenses.

Congress Must Exert Its Authority!

Stop Trump’s Abuse of Power!


**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 . . .

. . . to thank Senator Merkley for raising his voice about this administration’s human rights abuses at the border and supporting the impeachment process.  I am asking him to:

  • Work to get the Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act passed
  • Push for impeachment hearings in the House as soon as they get back from recess

Thank you.”

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATOR WYDEN:

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

. . . to thank Senator Wyden for raising his voice about this administration’s criminal human rights abuses at the border.  I am asking him to:

  • Work to get the Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act passed
  • Join Senator Merkley in supporting the impeachment process

**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. . .

. . . the human suffering at our border driven by this administration’s white nationalist agenda must end. Until Greg Walden takes a clear public stand against Trump’s racist behavior, he remains complicit with all things Trump. Instead of pretending it’s business as usual, Greg must:

  • Demand investigations into human rights abuses at the border
  • Support HR 1069 the Shutdown Child Prison Camps Act.
  • Support the impeachment process and push for immediate impeachment hearings 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!

Thank you.”
