CALL TO ACTION #780: Russia is Winning; Congress, Impeach Trump! (October 15, 2019)
384 Days
Until the 2020 Election
RUSSIA IS WINNING
CONGRESS, IMPEACH TRUMP!
This is a critical time for our democracy. We are grateful to those Members of Congress (MoCs) who are standing up to Trump and supporting the impeachment process—particularly our own Senators Wyden and Merkley.
We ARE NOT happy with Greg Walden’s betrayal of the Constitution
and his oath of office.
Where’s Walden? Doing the Sycophant Slink!
It’s time for our MoCs to up their game. Trump is helping Russia win by:
- Chipping away at U.S. sanctions against Russia.
- Weakening NATO, pressuring Ukraine to investigate and disprove Russia’s involvement in the 2016 elections.
- Removing Marie Yovanovitch as ambassador to Ukraine.
- Abandoning our Kurdish allies, forcing them to make a deal with Russia to avoid genocide.
We need our MoCs to:
- Continue to lead on the impeachment process. We must have a robust impeachment process that ultimately leads to Trump being impeached.
- Obtain Trump’s taxes – exposing how his corruption makes him beholden to dictators, putting the world at risk.
- Impress upon their GOP colleagues to see past the cult of Trump and work to end Trump’s genocide in Syria and protect our troops.
We must advocate with calls, letters, e-mail messages, district visits, and protests, and by working to register voters, then getting out the vote.
It’s Up to We-The-People!
Save Our Democracy!
Out with the Oligarchy!
**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’m appalled at how Trump has abandoned our allies and keeps asking foreign governments to interfere in our elections. I ask the Senator to:
- Continue to lead on the impeachment process. We must have a robust impeachment process that ultimately leads to Trump being impeached.
- Obtain Trump’s taxes – exposing how his corruption makes him beholden to dictators, putting the world at risk.
- Impress upon their GOP colleagues their responsibility to see past the cult of Trump and work to end Trump’s genocide in Syria and protect our troops.
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 Trump has abandoned our allies and keeps asking foreign governments to interfere in our elections. Our allies are being slaughtered while Trump keeps doing things that help Russia. Tell Greg Walden that it’s high time he stands up for the US Constitution and supports the impeachment process.
Through Greg’s actions and inactions — the silence is 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.”
