Until the November 3rd Election
WHY WE VOTE:
TO GET A GOVERNMENT
WE CAN TRUST
Trump had told more than 15,000 lies by mid-December. January revelations have added more. Trump and Secretaries Pompeo and Esper lied about an imminent threat from Soleimani. Additional lies:
- Casualties in Iraq from Iran’s response
- Trump’s role in threats to Ambassador Yovanovitch’s safety
- The NY Bar Association accused Barr of violating his oath of office
- Republican Senators announced they’d acquit Trump, swore to be impartial, and set rules precluding a fair trial
Lies are a milestone on the road to tyranny. Lies prevent accountability. And lies lead to loss of trust in government, even when public safety is at risk.
We vote to ensure we have a government we can trust, one that will promote the common good, not tyranny. We vote to replace Trump’s enablers with leaders who:
- We can trust to uphold the Constitution
- Will restore public trust in government
- Support accountability
- Appoint and confirm trust-worthy cabinet members and judges
- Pass needed legislation on the environment, gun control, health care, economic justice, etc.
Democrats in the House have worked to uphold the Constitution, impeach Trump, and pass legislation. By contrast, Trump Republicans have ignored, obfuscated, and lied. We must hold them accountable and vote them out.
Trump enabler Greg Walden is retiring, but whoever wins the ORD2 GOP nomination to replace him will run as a Trump supporter. The battle lines are already drawn in our congressional district for 2020.
Restore Trust In Government!
Vote the Lying Trumpist GOP Out!
**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 because. . .
. . . we need Congress to hold this administration accountable for its lies. I ask the Senator to keep insisting on:
- A fair Senate trial with documents, witnesses and full press access
- Investigations of the assassination of Soleimani, what happened to our military in Iraq when Iran responded
- Investigations into Parnas’ revelations regarding Trump’s lies about Ukraine, including threats to Ambassador Yovanovitch.
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 because. . .
. . . I remain outraged that Greg voted against impeaching Trump. Now, more than ever, we need Congress to hold this administration accountable for its lies. Please tell Greg Walden that I demand he work for:
- A fair Senate trial with documents, witnesses and full press access
- Investigations of the assassination of Soleimani, what happened to our military in Iraq when Iran responded
- Investigations into Parnas’ revelations regarding Trump’s lies about Ukraine, including threats to Ambassador Yovanovitch.
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.”
