John,

Sen. Jeff Merkley here from Oregon. We face a grave threat to our
democracy. Donald Trump has deployed secret police in my home city of
Portland, and is threatening to do it in other cities across America.

His Department of Homeland Security is using unidentified paramilitary
forces to patrol the streets of Portland, Oregon and they’re throwing
people into unmarked vehicles. They’re using tear gas and munitions
against peaceful protesters.

We know Trump has coddled dictators like Putin in Russia and Duterte in
the Philippines, and now he’s trying to act like them.

The American people must speak out and say NO! We must defend the
Constitution.

[ [link removed] ]Will you join me and Democracy for America and make your voice heard
right now? Tell Trump that secret police have no place in America and tell
Congress to prohibit these police state tactics.

When you sign this petition, you’ll be joining tens of thousands
(hopefully, hundreds of thousands) of Americans demanding the protection
of our democracy. I will stand up and make sure that my colleagues know
what’s at stake and how many Americans are standing with us.

This is the stuff of anti-democratic nightmares. We must fight back.

— Jeff
