Voting Is NOT Enough. Your HEALTH CARE And Our Democracy Are On The Line. Your Activism Is REQUIRED
Oregon Republican Sec. of State, Bev Clarno, and Republican candidate for S.O.S., Kim Thatcher, and their fellow elected Oregon Republican Trump Collaborators*1 are all committed to vote for Donald Trump in Nov. 2020.
This means that Clarno, Thatcher and the rest of the Oregon Republican Trump Collaborators*1 not only accept but support:
A. Russian interference aidingTrump in our Oregon and American elections.

B. Trump’s refusal to provide his tax returns because they would, and now have, exposed his living the lifestyle of a billionaire while paying NO Federal Income TAXES in 11 of 18 years between 2000 and 2017, paid only $750 in 2016 and 2017 and owes hundreds of millions of dollars making him a national security threat.*2
C. Trump’s lawsuit currently in the Supreme Court to Repeal the Affordable Care Act which would immediately deny health care to more than twenty million Americans, including many Oregonians, and revoke a congressional mandate to protect citizens from being denied affordable health insurance because of a preexisting condition, which includes being a woman.*3

D. Trump’s callously deliberate mishandling of the Corona Virus Pandemic which has lead to the unnecessary deaths of more than 200,000 Americans, including many Oregonians.
E. Politicizing and thereby destroying public trust in the science based Center For Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration for his own political gain in the midst of a pandemic.
F. The disgraceful, dishonorable and dishonest behavior of Attorney General William Barr and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
G. Total disregard for Truth, Facts, and Science.
H. A grossly hypocritical, ruthless and precedent shattering rushed Supreme Court appointment certain to overturn established law protecting a woman’s right to control her own reproductive choices.*3
I. Racism as an acceptable American value.
J. Immoral, incompetent and barbaric treatment of innocent, blameless children by locking them in cages and separating them from their crimeless parents then often being unable to later unite them.
K. Any political or legal action that perpetuates minority/Republican rule in perpetuity.
L. Every other act of Donald Trump over the past four years which has endangered democracy and the rule of law in Oregon and America.
Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and William Barr have changed the rules of the game. They, along with support from their Republican Collaborators*1, have unequivocally and undeniably established a new political order in which the only rule is for those who have political power to use it to their maximum advantage and against their opponents to the fullest extent possible. Norms, bipartisanship and the notion of the common good are no longer part of the political lexicon. The exercise of raw political power is the only remaining value.
When the Democrats take control of the Presidency, the Senate and the House they will have no choice but to:
A. Grant Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood.
B. Declare North and South Dakota conjoined as a single state, Dakota.
C. Eliminate the Electoral College.
D. Eliminate the Senate Filibuster.
E. Eliminate lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court.
F. Diminish Supreme Court Sovereignty and elevate Citizen Sovereignty in the House of Representatives.
G. Support federal, state and local civil and criminal prosecutions against Donald Trump, his businesses, his family, his friends, his staffs, his associates and anyone in his orbit that warrants legal accountability for their actions as would any ordinary citizen who acted in a similar fashion.*2
There is a deafening silence of Oregon Republican Sec. of State, Bev Clarno, Republican candidate for S.O.S., Kim Thatcher, and all their fellow elected Oregon Republican Trump Collaborators*1 in their refusal to shout out that Donald Trump lies about VBM, vote-by-mail. Trump’s malicious rantings about VBM are not just appalling and wrong but dangerous to our Oregon and our American democracy.
