Abstention woes

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

From: A constituent in Portland, OR

October 16, 2025

I implore you all to have conviction, rather than recusing yourself from voting whether or not to celebrate the life and legacy of one of the most divisive voices of our time. Abstention is really not a good idea when fighting against literal fascism. Please stop letting one side control the entire narrative. Your job security hinges on how you respond to their idiocy.
