Until the 2020 Election
KEEP FIGHTING FOR ELECTION SECURITY
Fiona Hill is a non-partisan career diplomat. She’s the former top European Russia expert at the National Security Council and has served under both Republican and Democratic presidents.
Her testimony during the impeachment hearings is a stark warning that the foundation of our democracy, our elections, are endangered by hostile foreign governments, particularly Russia.
Excerpts from Fiona Hill’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, 11/21/19:
“Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country — and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did,” Hill said. “This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves.
“President Putin and the Russian security services operate like a super PAC. They deploy millions of dollars to weaponize our own political opposition research and false narratives.
I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests. These fictions are harmful even if they are deployed for purely domestic political purposes.”
Republicans led my Moscow Mitch continue to block bills that seek to improve election security. Time is running for the 2020 elections. Demand that our Members of Congress continue to fight to protect our votes.
Democracy Depends on Election Integrity!
Demand Secure Elections!
Fight GOP-Russian Complicity!
**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 . . .
. . . Russia and other hostile foreign governments who threaten our elections are being enabled by Mitch McConnell and other Republicans in the Senate. I want to thank the Senator for his support of election security, but more must be done. I am asking him to insist that legislation be passed requiring voters use paper ballots, and requiring machines that allow manual auditing. Anything less is a ruse to cover for the continued assault on our elections. And because he has enabled Russian interference in our Democracy, Trump must be impeached.
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 . . .
. . . Russia and other hostile foreign governments threatening our elections are being enabled by Republicans in Congress—including Greg Walden. Please tell Greg to finally put country before party and insist that legislation be passed requiring voters to use paper ballots, and requiring machines that allow manual auditing. Anything less is a ruse to cover for the continued assault on our elections. And because Trump has enabled Russian interference in our Democracy, Trump must be impeached.
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.”
