Thanks to all those who called today, but today’s development has turned tomorrow, Tuesday, February 1 into a critical day of action to work on getting this guy expelled from the legislature! No rest yet. Retweet this thread widely!! (1/14)

Wednesday there will be a floor vote on removing this man from all of his legislative committees, a first step towards having him expelled from the legislature per Article XII, Section 4 of the Alaska Constitution. So call tomorrow, Tuesday, February 1. (2/14)

Let’s keep it simple. Don’t worry about signing up for a time. Just call, call, call tomorrow, Tuesday, February 1 (3/14)

House Democrats are united against David Eastman. You don’t need to call them any more. Who do you need to call? (4/14)

Eastman’s main argument is that he represents the will of his constituents. Honestly, it’s not the world’s worst argument. So we have to demonstrate to other legislators that it’s the will of *their* constituents that a member of a seditious organization be expelled. (5/14)

Critical targets right now:
–Rep. Sara Rasmussen (Dist. 22) [phone]
–Rep. Kelly Merrick (Dist. 14) at [phone]
–Rep. Josiah Paktokak (Dist. 40) at [phone]
–Rep. Laddie Shaw (Dist. 26) at 465-4945. More on him shortly.
--Rep. Bart LeBon [phone] (6/14)

If you live in one of those 5 districts, call your rep. Don't know what district you live in? Use this: openstates.org/find_your_legi…

(7/14)

Keep it simple. Say something like: My name is ______ and I’m a resident of District __. I encourage Rep. ________ to vote in favor of a motion to remove David Eastman from all committees.” That’s it. (8/14)

If you are a veteran, even if you don't live in his district, call Rep. Shaw and say: "My name is _____ and I'm a veteran of the US Armed Forces. As a veteran, I encourage Rep. Shaw to vote in favor of a motion to remove David Eastman from all committees." (9/14)

If you don't live in those districts and aren't a veteran, find someone who does or is and have them call. Then call Minority Leader Cathy Tilton at [phone]. (10/14)

Say: “Article XII, Section 4 of the Alaska State Constitution disqualifies any member of an organization that advocates violence against the United States government from holding public office in Alaska. (11/14)

Rep. David Eastman of Wasilla is a lifetime member of the Oath Keepers, an organization that advocates for violence against the United States government. Why is your caucus ignoring the plain language of the Alaska Constitution and continuing to support Rep. Eastman?” (12/14)

Got that? If you live in one of the five listed districts, call that rep and Minority Leader Tilton. If you’re a military veteran, call Rep. Shaw and Minority Leader Tilton. If neither of those things are true, just call Minority Leader Tilton at [phone]. (13/14)

Remember to retweet and let’s take the first step in getting this guy expelled from the Legislature! (14/14)
