CALL TO ACTION #706: Stop Trump’s Tyranny (June 24, 2019)

STOP TRUMP’S TYRANNY

We are living under tyranny.  There are concentration camps at the border while we teeter on the brink of war with Iran.  All due to crises of Trump’s making.

With the Full Support of Greg Walden.

Because. Silence. Is Consent.

Trump created the policy of family separation and now children are living in concentration camps at the border – without access to the basic necessities of human survival. Children are falling ill and soon more will die unnecessary deaths due to Trump and his GOP crimes against humanity.  These are impeachable offenses and Congress must hold Trump accountable with an immediate impeachment inquiry.

Trump created the crisis with Iran when he pulled out from the Iran Nuclear Deal. Abandoning our commitments and our allies, Trump insisted on going it alone and imposing sanctions that have not brought Iran back to the negotiating table but have escalated the conflict to the point of near military action.  Congress must stop Trump from unilaterally engaging us in war with Iran.

To combat this tyranny we must all take action.  Call your MoCs and DEMAND that they:

  • Take action to stop the abuse at the border
  • Take action to prevent a war with Iran
  • Start an impeachment inquiry immediately

We Must Contain Trump!

End The GOP Tyranny!

**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 devastated by the abuses in the concentration camps at the border and worried we will go to war with Iran.  I implore the Senator to continue:

  • Denouncing the border concentration camps as impeachable offenses and call for an immediate impeachment inquiry
  • Working to get the Prevention of Unconstitutional War with Iran Act (S 1039) passed
  • Working to repeal the Authorizations for Use of Military Force

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 devastated by the abuses in the concentration camps at the border and worried we will go to war with Iran.  I DEMAND that Greg Walden:

  • Denounce the border concentration camps as impeachable offenses and call for an immediate impeachment inquiry
  • Work to get the Prevention of Unconstitutional War with Iran Act (HR 2354) passed
  • Work to repeal the Authorizations for Use of Military Force

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.”
