This is U.S. Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon.
First, I have great news. Already over 35 senators are co-sponsoring the
bill I introduced this week with Sen. Jeff Merkley and Sen. Chris Murphy
to stop the Trump Administration from dispatching his personal federal
army into America's streets. Tens of thousands of PCCC members have taken
action to support this measure.
What our country has witnessed over the last several days in Portland are
fascist tactics I never thought I’d see used on American soil. If the line
isn’t drawn in the sand right now, America will be staring down the barrel
of martial law for months to come.
[ [link removed] ]Now, I'm asking for your help to send back to Donald Trump the federal
forces he has thrown into the streets of Portland, Oregon. All my
colleagues on both sides of the aisle need to know the public is paying
attention and won't tolerate this. Will you sign on as a supporter of our
emergency proposal?
These troops have no accountability. They wear camouflage. They whisk
innocent protesters off the street. And they shoot innocent people.
Headlines that should be unthinkable anywhere in America are the reality
in Portland today:
Reuters: U.S. Homeland Security confirms three units sent paramilitary
officers to Portland
Oregon Live: Federal officers use gas, force on hundreds gathered in
downtown Portland Tuesday
Portland Mercury: Feds Gas Moms & Dads Again
Donald Trump has made it clear that what’s happening in Portland is just
the beginning. If Congress doesn't step in, these authoritarian tactics
won't stop in my hometown.
[ [link removed] ]If Donald Trump’s unconstitutional abuses can happen in Portland, they
can happen anywhere. Please sign onto emergency legislation saying this is
unacceptable in America and must end.
Thanks for your solidarity.
