Background

We deserve a Supreme Court that upholds the rule of law, not the corrupt rule of Trump. We deserve a Supreme Court that protects our civil rights, our environment, our vote, our health and reproductive rights, and our BIPOC, LGBT, and immigrant communities.

Trump wants the Supreme Court to repeat their 2000 election decision so he can avoid accountability for his countless crimes against us. His GOP wants SCOTUS to overturn the ACA -- to take health care from millions, throw our fragile health care system into financial chaos, and remove protections for pre-existing conditions that include testing positive for COVID-19. They want to prevent us from obtaining safe abortions; promote racist and classist policies; brutalize BIPOC, LGBT, immigrant, Muslim, and Jewish communities; and advantage wealth and big business over our planet, our health, our lives, our finances, and our Constitutional rights.

We must insist our MoCs fight for the rule of law, call out Trump's criminality and weakness, and do all they can to prevent confirmation of his SCOTUS nominee before the inauguration. We must join together, call our MoCs daily, make a plan to vote, and work to get out the vote.

1. Call the Senate.

Script Oregon Senators

SEN. MERKLEY: Portland office: 503-326-3386 | D.C. office: 202-224-3753

SEN. WYDEN: Portland office: 503-326-7525 | D.C. office: 202-224-5244

My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon [zip code]. Trump is weak and is using the pandemic to sow chaos in an election he’s losing. Our health and safety mean nothing to him, and he will do anything to stay in office. I ask the Senator to:

call out Trump’s weakness -- his desperate attempts and threats to undermine our election and avoid accountability for defrauding our government and disregarding our lives.
use every available method to prevent a vote on Trump’s Supreme Court nominee before the inauguration: speak at length, object to unanimous consent agreements, utilize new legislative day rules, object to lifting quorum calls, move to adjourn and recess, utilize layover requirements, raise points of order, file cloture, fast-track statutues, utilize rule XIV, and boycott the farcical hearings
commit to reforming the Supreme Court to save our democracy
Use every means at your disposal to make sure there is no vote on Trump’s Supreme Court nominee until after the next inauguration.
call out the GOP’s refusal to vote on the pandemic relief that Americans need and then demand there be no continuing resolution until the HEROES Act is passed.

We cannot cave to Trump and his GOP's bullying.
