CALL TO ACTION #805: Impeachable Offenses Mounting (November 18, 2019)
350 Days
Until the 2020 Election
IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES MOUNTING
As the Democrat’s attorney walked Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch through her experience being smeared by the President, Trump doubled down and smeared her again, this time on Twitter as she was testifying.
This is a case of pictures being worth more than a thousand words. Here are clips of key moments when Yovanovitch described – and was subjected to – Trump’s smears.
First, Adam Schiff reading parts of Trump’s real-time tweet while Yovanovitch was testifying. As he said, “some of us take witness intimidation seriously.”

And Yovanovitch describing how she felt after reading the summary of Trump’s explosive conversation with Ukrainian President Zelensky.

Yovanovitch’s record of service is unassailable. Her testimony was so damaging that the Republicans struggled to put a glove on her.
President Trump told Zelensky, “The woman is bad news.” He may be right. Just not the kind of bad news that he meant.
Trump is Self-Impeaching!
Let’s Finish the Job!
Make Your Calls!
**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 think Trump’s smearing of Maria Yovanovitch on Twitter during her testimony is an abuse of power, witness intimidation, and an impeachable offense. Please ask the Senator to keep pointing out Trump’s impeachable offenses. We need his strong voice to counteract the Republican’s attempts to cast doubt.
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 think Trump’s smearing of Maria Yovanovitch on Twitter during her testimony is an abuse of power, witness intimidation, and an impeachable offense. Greg Walden’s silence makes him complicit with those defending Trump. Furthermore, Republican attempts to cast doubt are increasingly weak and clearly self-serving. Please tell Greg to stand up for country before party.
Through his actions and inactions, Greg continues to signal his full support for trumpism, regardless of how much damage Trump is doing to our democracy and to world stability. Know that we are still here and will continue working to flip ORD2 Blue in 2020.
Thank you.”
