2. Action: 24 Mar 2017

The following is a Press Release from Rep. Ted Lieu. I've been watching him for awhile and I like his thoughts.  In this statement, he is spot on.  I'm calling Roger, Thad and Bennie.

REP. LIEU STATEMENT ON REPORT OF TRUMP ASSOCIATES’ POSSIBLE COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA

March 23, 2017 
Press Release
Washington – Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement regarding the CNN report that Trump associates possibly colluded with Russia to affect the outcome of the 2016 election in the United States.
“The bombshell revelation that U.S. officials have information that suggests Trump associates may have colluded with the Russians means we must pause the entire Trump agenda.  We may have an illegitimate President of the United States currently occupying the White House.” 
“Other than allowing routine governmental functions, there must be a total and complete shutdown of any agenda item being pushed by the Trump Administration.  Congress cannot continue regular order and must stop voting on any Trump-backed agenda item until the FBI completes its Trump-Russia collusion investigation.”
“Congress must immediately form an independent commission and appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the collusion allegations with impartiality and independence.  Congress also needs to pass the Resolution of Inquiry, authored by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and I, to compel the Trump Administration to publicly disclose information on its Russian ties to the American people.  At this point in our nation's history, there is nothing more important than finding out whether or not high crimes were committed by associates of Donald Trump or possibly by Trump himself.”


Today's call to action:

Senator Roger Wicker: 202-224-6253

Senator Thad Cochran: 202-224-5054

Congressman Trent Kelly: 202-225-4306

Congressman Bennie G. Thompson: 202-225-5876

Script:

This is ______.  I live in _____, MS.


I'm calling today to object to any and all Trump administration agenda items being moved forward until after the completion of the FBI investigation into the Trump Campaign's involvement with Russia.
