NO GORSUCH VOTE UNTIL FBI INVESTIGATION COMPLETED
——————————————————————————————
#TrumpRussia

On Monday, FBI Director James Comey confirmed that the agency is investigating whether members of President Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election. Meanwhile, the same day, confirmation hearings began for Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch.

We are pleased that Senators Wyden and Merkley have already vowed to filibuster Gorsuch’s confirmation. As good as that is, we want them to DO MORE! Senators Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren have called for the vote to be delayed until the FBI investigation is complete.

Our senators must do the same!

**Action: CALL SENATORS WYDEN AND MERKLEY

SAMPLE SCRIPT
“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. As long as the FBI is investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, Trump should not have the power to nominate a Supreme Court Justice, an action that will shape our country’s judicial branch for decades. I’m asking Senator [—] to stand with Senators Schumer and Warren to call for a DELAY on Judge Gorsuch’s confirmation vote until the investigation is complete. Can I count on Senator [—] to do this?

Sen. Chuck Schumer’s demand is highly unlikely to gain traction with Senate GOP leaders.
