Until the November 3rd Election
AMERICANS DON‘T WANT A KING: MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
This afternoon, GOP Senators will likely crown Trump king of America. They covered up the facts, refused to demand relevant and necessary documents and witnesses, and jammed a sham trial through the Senate—putting Trump above the law. Their actions demonstrate loyalty to him rather than to our Constitution and the rule of law.
Since Senators haven’t yet voted, there’s still time to call and encourage our Senators to tell duplicitous GOP colleagues that Americans see through GOP lies, disapprove GOP cowardice, and will send them and Trump packing in November.
The impeachment trial will end, but our MoCs must keep fighting for the rule of law, reminding Americans of Trump’s lawlessness and abuses of power, and of the GOP lackeys like Greg Walden who abet this behavior.
The House must continue investigating and releasing evidence covered up by the Senate that informs Americans about Trump’s ongoing abuses of power:
- Trump’s year-long campaign to force Ambassador Yovanovitch from office;
- What John Bolton, Lev Parnas and State Department documents demonstrate;
- How White House counsel Pat Cipollone’s representation of Trump was unethical and materially misleading.
Only continued probing will keep GOP venality before the American people and allow for informed decisions in November’s elections. Additional Articles of Impeachment should not be ruled out.
Raise Your Voice!
Fight for the Rule of Law!
The Time is NOW!
**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. . .
. . . to emphasize that anything but Trump’s removal from office is unacceptable and that censure is a meaningless cop-out.
I urge you to inform your GOP colleagues that I and many other Americans are appalled by their decision to abet Trump’s lawlessness and corruption. We see through their lies, disapprove of their cowardice, and will send them and Trump packing in November.
Please do everything you can to ensure that Americans do not forget any of this between now and the upcoming elections.
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 am appalled by your inaction in the face of disdain for the Constitution and the separation of powers by Trump and your party. You can preserve your legacy somewhat by supporting the House’s investigation and dissemination of evidence about Trump’s ongoing abuses of power—starting with his campaign against Yovanovich, his lawyer Cipollone’s unethical and materially misleading representation; ,and what Bolton, Parnas and State Department documents can tell us
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.”
