SAVE OUR ELECTIONS
AND OUR DEMOCRACY
Free and fair elections are the bedrock of a democracy. And our elections are under attacks from foreign interference, obstruction of justice, and hyper-partisan politics.
The 2016 election was attacked by a foreign power. Trump welcomed those attacks, and he obstructed justice to impede the investigation into them. The Democratic-led House has passed legislation to protect our elections but Senate Majority Leader McConnell refuses to take it up. Only possible reason: he, Trump and the rest of the GOP are benefiting from Russian money and interference.
Including Greg Walden
Our elections are being attacked by hyper-partisan politics. Leader McConnell denied Merrick Garland a seat on the Supreme Court. Trump and McConnell then installed Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh instead. The Supreme Court has become a partisan entity where 15 out of the last 19 justices have been appointed by Republicans while winning the popular vote only once. Yesterday, the Court ruled that partisan gerrymandered districts can stand. The voice of the people is being silenced to keep a minority party in power—under the banner of a white supremacist POTUS.
To save our democracy, we must save our elections. Call your MoCs and demand legislation to protect our elections and an immediate impeachment inquiry to investigate the 2016 elections and Trump’s obstruction. Then join us in working to elect a new president and a new Congress in the 2020 elections.
It Will Take WE THE PEOPLE
Stepping Up to Save Our Democracy!
**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 because . . .
. . . I fear for the integrity of our elections because of foreign attacks and what the Supreme Court did yesterday. I ask the Senator to:
- Do all he can to get HR 1 (For the People Act) and HR 2722 (Securing America’s Federal Elections Act) passed in the Senate
- Do all he can to get the PAVE (Protecting American Votes and Elections) Act passed in the Senate
- Call for an immediate impeachment inquiry to investigate the foreign inference in our elections and Trump’s obstruction of justice.
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 because . . .
…I fear for the integrity of our elections because of foreign attacks and what the Supreme Court did yesterday. I ask Greg Walden to:
- Do all she can to get the PAVE (Protecting American Votes and Elections) Act passed in the House
- Call for an immediate impeachment inquiry to investigate the foreign inference in our elections and Trump’s obstruction of justice
Through Greg’s actions and inactions—his silence has been deafening—he appears to fully support Trump, regardless of how much damage Trump is doing to our democracy and to world stability. Know that we are still here, that we will be working to flip his seat BLUE — #2020StartsNow!
Thank you.”
