Call Senator Harris and ask her to co-sponsor the Presidential Conflicts of Interest Act

Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to disclose and divest from any potential financial conflicts of interest. No more stalling! The Presidential Conflicts of Interest Act of 2017 would legally force him to do so. Senator Diane Feinstein is an original cosponsor of this legislation, but Senator Kamala Harris has yet to sign on. Let’s call her and ask for her support.

Script: I’m calling from (ZIP) to ask (Sen. Harris) to SUPPORT Senate Bill S65. The President needs to cut ties and come clean as a basic condition of his job.

Harris Contacts: DC (202) 224-3553, LA (213) 894-5000, SAC (916) 448-2787, Fresno (916) 448-2787, SF (415) 355-9041, SD (619) 239-3884

More Info: Democrats Introduce Bill to Require President and Vice President to Fully Divest Personal Financial Conflicts of Interest

Demand an Independent Russian Election Interference Commission! Support S. 27

Ask Senator Kamala Harris to demand a 9/11-style, bipartisan independent commission to investigate Russian election interference. Senator Harris has still not cosponsored S. 27, which would establish an independent commission to investigate Russian election interference. Urge her to do so.

Call Senator Harris: DC (202) 224-3553, LA (213) 894-5000, SAC (916) 448-2787, Fresno (916) 448-2787, SF (415) 355-9041, SD (619) 239-3884

Script: I’m calling from (ZIP) to ask Senator Harris to cosponsor Senate Bill S27. Please step up. We need an independent commission to get to the bottom of the Russia issue.

Support Adam Schiff’s call for Nunes to Step Down – Call your Senators!

The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Nunes, is himself a member of the transition team being investigated for collusion with Russia. He’s misdirected attention and dismissed evidence, despite the FBI’s assertions to the contrary. He’s improperly briefed Trump and has met with secret sources.

This is what corruption looks like. It’s time for him to step down.

Call Senators Feinstein and Harris!

Delay Vote on Neil Gorsuch Until Russia Probe – Call our Senators!

After FBI Director Comey’s testimony before the House the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency and his entire administration is in question. With so much yet unknown about the administration’s dealings with the Russians, Congress cannot consider the lifetime appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

That’s why it’s imperative that the Senate heed Senator Chuck Schumer’s call to stop Supreme Court confirmation hearings—until a full and independent investigation has been conducted.

Call Senators Feinstein and Harris!: (DC switchboard (202) 224-3121, other #’s below.)

Script: Hi my name is ________ and my zip code is ________. I want to urge Senator ____________to stand with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and block Trump’s nominee of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court until there has been a thorough and independent investigation of the administration’s ties to Russia. Beyond the GOP’s unprecedented blockade of Merrick Garland, we can’t be sure the current administration is legitimate. Democrats need to defend the Court and America by refusing to confer a lifetime appointment to the Court until the administration has been proven legitimate.

Feinstein Contacts: DC (202) 224-3841, LA (310) 914-7300, SF (415) 393-0707, SD (619) 231-9712, Fresno (559) 485-7430

Harris Contacts: DC (202) 224-3553, LA (213) 894-5000, SAC (916) 448-2787, Fresno (916) 448-2787, SF (415) 355-9041, SD (619) 239-3884

Demand an Independent Commission on Russia – Call our Representative! (2 of 2)

On Monday, FBI Director James Comey confirmed they have been investigating ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia since July of 2016. Despite this bombshell, the House Intelligence Committee focused instead on leaks to the press.

This investigation cannot move forward with partisan politics. A 9/11-style special commission into Russia’s interference is required.

Call Congresswoman Julia Brownley: DC (202) 225-5811, Oxnard (805) 379-1779, T.O. (805) 379-1779

Resolution: Trump’s Business Conflicts and Ties to Russia – Vote is tomorrow! Call Congresswoman Brownley

If Rep. Nadler’s bill is successful, the Department of Justice will have ‘to provide Congress with the basic information required to conduct an inquiry into President Trump and his associates” conflicts of interest, ethical violations—including the Emoluments Clause—and connections to the Russian government.’

For Congresswoman Julia Brownley: DC (202) 225-5811, Oxnard (805) 379-1779, T.O. (805) 379-1779

Script: “My name is [name], I’m a constituent in [city], and I’m calling to urge Representative [Brownley ] to support HR 111, by co-sponsoring it and sharing our support with the democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee. Jerrold Nadler’s resolution of inquiry into Trump’s business conflicts and ties to Russia. My zip code is [#####].”

Why it’s important: On February 9, 2017, Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) took the extraordinary step of filing a “resolution of inquiry” in the U.S. House that could force a House investigation into Donald Trump’s financial conflicts of interest and ties to the Russian government.

Media reports have called Rep. Nadler’s action the “most aggressive move” yet by Democrats.

If Rep. Nadler is successful, Continue reading “Resolution: Trump’s Business Conflicts and Ties to Russia – Vote is tomorrow! Call Congresswoman Brownley” →
