Tuesdays with Tillis; Impeachment; and More

****Actions 11/26/2019****

EVENT:

Tuesdays with Tillis:
The indefatigable rock stars at Tuesdays with Tillis are going to be back out there again Tuesday morning at 11:30 at Tillis’s Raleigh office. This week’s theme, “Now We Really Need to Impeach Trump,” is utterly essential.  Every day we learn more about Trump’s attempts to abuse the power of the Presidency to get Ukraine to attack a political opponent and his further attempts to obstruct justice. We’re also seeing continued revelations that others in the GOP may be complicit.

FEDERAL:
Call Your Congresspeople and Demand Impeachment:
We’ve had some time to absorb the details of the testimony, and nothing has changed. In fact, every day, we learn more about the abuses of power and the desperate attempts to obstruct justice. In addition, Trump is actively spreading disinformation which originated with Putin, including the blatantly false conspiracy theory that Ukraine interfered with the 2016 elections. Several GOP Congresspeople, including Louisiana Senator John Kennedy, are now actively pushing this disinformation.

Script:
Hello, I am a constituent calling from ______________ to urge Rep./Sen. ______________ to support the impeachment of Donald Trump and his removal from office. There is now clear evidence that he withheld military aid for Ukraine to coerce them into announcing that they were investigating Hunter Biden. We also know that the Trump administration is doing everything it can to obstruct the investigation from going forward. Worse, Trump is once again holding back foreign aid that has already been allocated by Congress, this time for Lebanon. Thank you.

Condemn the Firing of Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer:
Trump has now pushed out former Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer because Spencer disagreed with Trump’s decision to override the conviction of Navy SEAL Eddie Galagher who had been convicted of war crimes for posing with the corpse of a 15-year old ISIS fighter. Gallagher had been demoted, losing his status as a SEAL, and Gallagher was attempting to stand up for good order, discipline, and morale among the Armed Services. Meanwhile, Trump has already expressed interest in using Gallagher as a political prop, I mean, having Gallagher campaign for him in 2020. This is a cynical attempt by Trump to court a certain type of military voter, but it should be condemned because it will weaken morale and harm our reputation abroad.

Script:
Hello, I am a constituent calling from _____________ to urge Rep./Sen. _____________ to condemn Trump’s decision to fire former Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer. Spencer had rightfully demoted Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher for criminal activity when he posed with the corpse of a 15-year old ISIS fighter. Gallagher’s actions will harm discipline and good order within the military. His actions will also harm our reputation abroad. Spencer should not have been fired for standing up for military discipline, and I want Sen./Rep. ___________ to condemn Trump for firing him. Thank you.
