ACTION: CONGRESS MUST IMPEACH AND REMOVE

CONGRESS MUST IMPEACH AND REMOVE; WE MUST GET READY FOR 2020 

ACTION ONE: DONATE WITH INDIVISIBLE OREGON.

This December, Indivisible Oregon has set a goal to raise $5,000 for Swing Left’s National Impact Fund.  With your help, we can power the fight to flip the White House, Senate and key state legislators in 2020.  100% of funds raised go directly to candidates- donate now http://indivisibleOR.org/fund 

ACTION TWO: CALL YOUR SENATORS

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WYDEN AND MERKLEY:

My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because…
Yesterday constitutional scholars, testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, confirmed what we all know to be true: Trump’s conduct “clearly constitutes impeachable crimes.”  Congress must impeach and remove Trump.  Because as Professor Gerhardt said – if what we’re talking about is not impeachable then nothing is impeachable.    

ACTION THREE: CALL YOUR HOUSE REP

BACKGROUND:

Yesterday constitutional scholars, testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, confirm what we all know to be true: 
 “President Trump’s conduct . . .  clearly constitutes impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors under the Constitution” – Professor Noah Feldman, Harvard  
 “ . . . when President Trump invited, indeed demanded, foreign involvement in our upcoming election, he struck at the very heart of what makes this a Republic to which we pledge allegiance” – Professor Pamela Karlan, Stanford  
 “If what we’re talking about is not impeachable, then nothing is impeachable” – Professor Michael Gerhardt, University of North Carolina.  
 Congress’ job is clear. They must impeach and remove Trump.  
 We have jobs to do, too.  We must support the impeachment process, giving Congress the public support they need to impeach and remove Trump. AND we must work to vote out Trump’s GOP in the 2020 elections.
