CALL TO ACTION #844: More Impeachment Evidence Emerges; John Bolton Must Testify! (January 28, 2020)
280 Days
Until the November 3rd Election
MORE IMPEACHMENT EVIDENCE EMERGES!
JOHN BOLTON MUST TESTIFY!
- A recording revealed Trump ordering the removal of the American ambassador to the Ukraine who was a staunch anti-corruption fighter.
- An email surfaced showing that Trump ordered a hold on military aid 91 minutes after Trump’s “perfect” phone call with Ukraine’s president Zelensky.
- Another email stated the hold was at the “clear direction of POTUS.”
- And when Rudy Giuliani requested a meeting with Zelensky, he wrote he was acting with the “knowledge and consent of President Trump.”
Last week, Trump boasted he’d prevail because “We have all the material,” and witnesses that he withheld from House investigators. Now, the Bolton news has exploded Trump’s defense in the Senate.
Defend the Constitution!
The U.S. Senate is On Trial!
Demand Bolton Testify Under Oath!
**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 today. . .
. . . to say that you must demand John Bolton be called to testify. It would be a crime against the Constitution if Senate Republicans refuse to honor their oath.
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 today . . .
. . . to say that Greg Walden is an embarrassment to his constituents. His willful blindness to Trump’s impeachable actions is a crime in itself.
Even after announcing his retirement, 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.”
