Action Memo from Truth In Voting (OREGON)

Friends of democracy and Truth in Voting,

The final push is on to tell Senator Wyden that we won't stand for dishonest elections!

HOW YOU CAN HELP
As you know from previous emails, we have started a vigil of Senator Wyden’s office to convince him to step forward on January 6th (this Thursday) and reject the certification of the electoral college on the floor of Congress. There are already plans by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) to step forward and challenge the same. He will certainly be joined by other brave Representatives, but, as yet, no Senator has pledged to step forward. There is hope still to encourage our own Sen. Wyden to be one of the Senators that step forward. (We hope he won’t be alone this time!). How can you accomplish this?

1) The most effective way: Come in person to his Eugene office and join our vigil! If you don’t have any of the three key days off: Monday Jan. 3rd through Wednesday the 5th, then, by all means, come during your lunch hour and show solidarity with those that are there. Visit any or all three days if you can. Office address: 151 West 7th (parking on Charnelton just to the West of the building) Office hours: M-F 8:30 am to 5 pm

2) Second best: Call Sen. Wyden’s office to express your grave concerns about the validity of the Presidential election and ask the senator to join Rep. Conyers in his vote against certifying the electoral college vote. Washington, D.C. office: 202- 224-5244 (if you need to call from home before the Eugene office opens at 8:30 am PST) Eugene office: 541-431-0229

ALSO: Lobby the local news media to cover this issue and the vigil of Sen. Wyden’s office! Let them know you are very concerned about the validity of the Nov. 2nd Presidential election, especially in key swing states like Ohio and Florida.

2 basic questions for the media: Have you covered these concerns of voting irregularities and the potential of vote fraud in the national election? If not, why not? and Will you cover the local efforts of Truth In Voting to bring awareness of this issue and specifically the vigil in Senator Wyden’s office? All of the News Departments listed for phone calls below have received emails with the latest Press Release on the vigil. You can pass along the information to them by referring to this web page: http://www.truthinvoting.org/D30PressRelease.htm (the link is also listed on the left side of the home page)
