TRUMP’S RACISM NEEDS

STRONG REBUKE


Trump is racist.  Those in the GOP who support Trump—like Greg Walden—support his racist agenda.  This racist agenda needs a strong rebuke.

Trump’s racism is on display throughout his America:

  • Families separated at the border, subjected to inhumane conditions, driven to suicide, suffer death on American soil
  • America’s promise for refugees dies as Trump reduces the number of refugees allowed to almost zero
  • Public resources proposed as weapons of hate to turn people out of their homes and deny them healthcare
  • Communities are terrorized by Trump administration ordered raids
  • Everyday Americans are subjected to revolting taunts and driven to tears, by the vile racist climate Trump creates
  • Sitting United States Congresswomen are subjected to threats of rape and murder from law enforcement officers

Our MoCs must stand up to these racist attacks in the strongest way possible.  Four of Oregon’s Congressional delegation went to the border to bear witness and many have co-sponsored legislation that combats Trump’s racist agenda.

And now they must take the next step; on all public channels, they must call daily for an impeachment inquiry over illegal conditions at Trump’s border camps.

Rebuke Trump’s Racism!


**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 am very worried about Trump’s hateful, racist rhetoric and how emboldened he has become. I thank the Senator bearing witness at the border and for supporting legislation to stop Trump’s hate. I ask that he:

  • Do all he can to get the Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act passed
  • Publicly, daily on all channels, call for an immediate impeachment inquiry to investigate the illegal treatment of  men, women and children in Trump’s concentration camps

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 am outraged by Trump’s hateful, racist rhetoric and how emboldened he has become. Greg’s recent visit to the border was nothing more than a photo-op; he showed no compassion whatsoever for the people being held in America’s concentration camps. I demand that he put human beings before party, that he:

  • Do all he can to get the FACTS about the border out in the open via hearings in the House
  • Publicly, daily on all channels, call for an immediate impeachment inquiry to investigate the illegal treatment in Trump’s camps

Through Greg Walden’s actions and inactionshis silence has been deafeninghe 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, we will hold him accountable, we are working to flip his seat BLUE — #2020IsNow!

Thank you.”
