KEEP THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS GOING 

ACTION ONE: COME TO #INDIVISIBLETUESDAY

Join Indivisible Hillsboro at #IndivisibleTuesday today to talk to Congresswoman Bonamici’s staff.  Meet in the courtyard on the south side of the Beaverton Central Max Station at 11:30AM at 12725 SW Millikan Way, Beaverton.
We will thank Representative Bonamici for supporting the impeachment process and ask her to insist that:
  • Congress act decisively with immediate, robust, televised impeachment hearings that expose Trump’s abuses, corruption and crimes;
  •  impeachment hearings end in a vote on impeachment
  •  Congress passes legislation to protect our allies – especially our Kurdish allies

ACTION TWO: CALL YOUR SENATORS

SAMPLE SCRIPTS FOR REPRESENTATIVES:

My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because…
For Blumenauer, Bonamici, DeFazio, Schrader: I’m appalled at how Trump has abandoned our allies and keeps asking for foreign governments to interfere in our elections.  I ask the Representative to insist:
  • Congress act decisively with immediate, robust, televised impeachment hearings that expose Trump’s abuses, corruption and crimes;
  •  impeachment hearings end in a vote on impeachment
  •  Congress passes legislation to protect our allies – especially our Kurdish allies
For Walden: Trump has abandoned our allies and keeps asking for foreign governments to interfere in our elections. I would like to know if the Representative agrees with what Trump is doing to the Kurds. I ask the Representative to please stand up for the Constitution and support the impeachment process. 

BACKGROUND:

Trump has publicly called for foreign interference in our elections over and over. He asked Russia. He asked China. He asked Ukraine.  He will keep asking until he is held accountable. We are thankful that Representatives Blumenauer, Bonamici, DeFazio, and Schrader along with Senators Merkley and Wyden support the impeachment process.
But it not just our elections that are at risk. Throughout his presidency, Trump has systematically protected himself while sacrificing all others.
a shredded safety net with the number of uninsured rising;
  • trade wars hurting our economy;
  • immigrants terrorized and caged at the border;
  • allies abandoned while dictators welcomed. 
And instead of making America great, Trump’s dictator friends are made great:
  • Putin has destabilized America and if Trump succeeds in undermining the intelligence community’s findings about Russia attacking the 2016 elections, then sanctions against Russia will be lifted.
  • Turkey was given a green light in Syria, which will lead to the slaughter of our Kurdish allies and the reemergence of ISIS.
  • China is freely oppressing Hong Kong while we look the other way.
Immediate impeachment hearings and a vote on impeachment are the only way forward.  We are counting on Congress to see this through.
