CALL TO ACTION #822: Stephen Miller Must be Removed (December 13, 2019)


325 Days

Until the 2020 Election


STEPHEN MILLER MUST BE REMOVED


White nationalist Stephen Miller’s used his position to orchestrate an extreme anti-immigrant agenda: 

  • the Muslim ban 
  • the cruel family separation policy 
  • forcing asylum seekers to wait in Mexico  
  • DACA’s recission 
  • pouring military funds into border wall construction 
  • efforts to slash refugee admissions, limit asylum access, prevent TPS extensions, disqualify immigrants using public resources 

 

Assisting him is a loose network of administration lawyers and advisors who concoct and implement these draconianinhumane policies. 

Miller’s white supremacy, violent extremism and hate are antithetical to our democracy’s values and should bar him from government service.

Almost 40 Senators and 10Representatives (including most of Oregon’s MoCs) and hundreds of civil rights organizations have called for Miller’s resignation or removal by the White House. Greg Walden, once again and inexcusably, has been notably silent. Neither Miller nor his ideology belongs in government. Walden’s failure to address the lack of morality being demonstrated by this administration proves he also does not belong in government.

We cannot continue to have our immigration policy determined by unelected, unconfirmed White House employees Trump shields from Congress nor can we allow this administration to ignore Congress while dismantling the immigration system through executive actions that gut existing regulations.

Congress must begin formal investigations of Miller and his white supremacist colleagues.

They must also withhold funding from ICE and the Border Patrol until these purveyors of violent extremism and hate are rooted out and removed. 


**ACTION ONE: RALLY TO IMPEACH AND REMOVE TRUMP**

On the eve of the House’s momentous vote on Articles of Impeachment – the culmination of three years of public outcry, advocacy, and protests – it will be time to SHOW UP FOR OUR DEMOCRACY.  

A nationwide protest is planned for 5:30 pm on the evening before the House floor vote, whenever that is scheduled – so probably Tuesday 12/17 or Wednesday 12/18Register now so you’ll be notified as soon as the date is announced! 

Where:

If you don’t see a rally in a town near you, you can create your own. It doesn’t take much: just pick a place — like a courthouse, city hall, or some high-profile sidewalk — register the rally at www.impeach.org and the website will direct anyone conducting a search to be at that place when the call comes.

The world needs to see where we stand.  

Share this info.  

Show up for democracy. 


**ACTION TWO: 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 today . . . 

… to thank the Senator for forcefully speaking out against white supremacist Stephen Miller and calling on Trump to fire him, but he cannot stop thereWhile working to prepare the Senate for a fair impeachment trial, he must also insist that Congress (1) immediately begin investigating Miller and his white supremacist colleagues in the Trump administration, (2) pass a resolution demanding their firing, and (3) withhold funding for ICE and CBP until they are all removed. 

Thank you.”

**ACTION THREE: 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 today . . . 

. . . because while over 140 members of Congress and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, representing more than 220 national organizations, have called for the ouster of Stephen Miller, an avowed white supremacist, Greg Walden has once again and inexcusably been silent. I am asking Greg Walden to (1) finally begin putting humanity and country over party, (2) vote to impeach this lawless President, and (3) convince Trump that Miller and his white supremacist colleagues in this administration must immediately be removed. 

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.”
