Fight against misuse of National Guard

To: Sen. Merkley, Sen. Wyden, Rep. Salinas

From: A constituent in Wilsonville, OR

August 26, 2025

I’m furious that Trump sent the National Guard into DC and is threatening to send them into other Blue cities as well. Not only is this racist and a huge waste of taxpayer dollars, but it’s dictator-like behavior. I doubt I have to remind you that we are a free country. Not a dictatorship. Not a military oligarchy. You took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Unless that oath meant nothing to you, you need to fight back. Now. Thanks.
