CALL TO ACTION #749: Rise and Resist! (August 30, 2019)
Resist! Insist! Persist!
If not us, who? If not now, when?
We must maintain the “proceed with impeachment” drumbeat. Make it your habit to keep the pressure on our Members of Congress to get the truth out in an era of GOP lies led by the Liar in Chief, enabled by GREG WALDEN. Apparently, Greg takes his oath to protect Trump at all costs more seriously than his oath of office . . .
* * * * *
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
* * * * *
Let’s keep the pressure on Greg Walden to uphold his oath, instead of selling out the Constitution. Let’s also thank and continue to press our Senators to . . .
Proceed with Impeachment!
Truth, Whole Truth, Nothing but the Truth!
We. Will. Not. Quit.
**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**
SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATORS MERKLEY AND WYDEN:
“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . .
. . . I am asking you to take the lead on calling for impeachment proceedings and I ask that you do so by publicly calling attention to the necessity of the impeachment process. Trump is banking on us becoming exhausted by the velocity of his horrors. I am not exhausted. I am outraged at his crimes, his corruption, and his racism. I depend on you to lead on this issue by reminding people daily of his offenses.
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 again calling for impeachment proceedings. Trump wins because he is not held accountable for his racism, his corruption and his criminal behavior. Greg’s reluctance to defend the Constitution is allowing Trump to further divide the country and dismantle our democracy. Tell Greg to do his job! To support and defend the Constitution!
Through Greg Walden’s actions and inactions — his silence has been deafening— he continues to signal that he fully supports 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.”
