HOLD TRUMP REGIME ACCOUNTABLE

FOR 

CONTEMPT OF DEMOCRACY


Trump expects unfailing personal loyalty from his minions.  This includes Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Attorney General William Barr.  Accordingly, their actions are more like men having sworn an oath to protect Donald Trump rather than the US Constitution.

Congress and the American public have a right and a need to see Trump’s tax returns.  They would provide detailed information regarding both criminal malfeasance and how his foreign financial entanglements may compromise national security.  When Congress issued a subpoena for Trump’s returns, Mnuchin loyally refused.

Congress and the American public have a right and a need to see the full Mueller report. Barr refused to comply with a Congressional subpoena for the unredacted report.  He also refused to testify before the House Judiciary Committee.

The executive branch cannot be allowed to refuse subpoenas to protect Trump.  The House has a responsibility to protect the separation of powers and to investigate criminal misconduct.  There are tools to do both.

Robert Mueller can provide answers the Administration wants buried.  He can also counteract Barr’s blatant misrepresentations of his report.

We the People DEMAND that Congress assert its constitutional oversight duty:

Hold Barr and Mnuchin in Contempt of Congress!

Call Mueller to Testify! 

Open an Impeachment Inquiry!

NOW!


**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATORS WYDEN AND MERKLEY:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling . . .

. . . to ask the Senator to demand the immediate release of the unredacted Mueller report and Trump’s taxes, and to support contempt charges against Secretary Mnuchin and Attorney General Barr.  I am also asking him to call for Robert Mueller to testify before Congress as soon as possible, and to support an impeachment inquiry.

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 . . .

. . . to ask Mr. Walden to demand the immediate release of the unredacted Mueller report and Trump’s taxes, and to support contempt charges against Secretary Mnuchin and Attorney General Barr.  I am also asking him to call for Robert Mueller to testify before Congress as soon as possible, and to support an impeachment inquiry.

Has Greg Walden been conned by Trump? Or is he just part of the GOP coverup of the most incompetent, corrupt president in history? Greg’s oath of office demands that he step back from tribalist concerns and act on the extensive evidence of Trump’s lawless, impeachable offenses.

Greg Walden’s SILENCE IS CONSENT!

Through his actions and inactions, Greg appears to fully support Trump—regardless of how much damage Trump is doing to our democracy and world stability. Let him know that we are still here, that we will be working to flip his seat BLUE — #2020StartsNow!

Thank you.”
