John—
Trump has decided to deploy federal troops to Portland, Oregon and authorized the use of "full force" against protestors there. This is a cruel and reckless distraction at a time when Americans are bracing for a Republican shutdown that will increase your healthcare costs and harm millions of working families.
Instead of invading American communities, Trump and the GOP should be working with Congress on a budget that helps working people. But Republicans will only listen when they lose big in the next elections.
Rush a donation right now to split with the Democratic Parties of Oregon and Maine!
What Portland, OR and all communities truly need are lower healthcare costs, affordable groceries, more teachers in classrooms, more counselors addressing addiction and mental health, and affordable housing. Federal resources should be directed toward building strong and safe communities, not toward escalating fear and division.
Oregon Democrats aren’t backing down in the face of this abuse of power. Oregon’s Governor, members of Congress, and local leaders are taking the lead and coordinating a response to this crisis as we speak.
Donate now to split your donation and help make sure Republicans feel the consequences of their actions at the ballot box.
The Trump administration is using the federal government to spread fear, and Republicans have chosen to enable it rather than stand up for their constituents. Oregonians and the majority of Americans will not be misled by this reckless attempt to stir division and escalate tensions in our state.
The people deserve solutions, not hate and reckless political theater.
Rush a donation right now to support Oregon Democrats!
In Solidarity,
Maine Dems
