On June 18th, 2020 a mob tore down the Statue of George Washington in Portland Oregon, robbing the people of that community of their voice and vote. Please join me and others in demanding that the statue be repaired and restored. Also join me in demanding that those responsible be brought to justice.

The momentum behind this movement proves that people are tired of the lawless vandalism destroying our history. We are forcing the city to reckon with their failure to protect our monuments and punish the culprits.

You can’t hold people from a different time to today’s standards. The rules are different today. He was the greatest man for the job at the time.
Although I live outside of Portland, I have studied at PSU and worked in the city for over 39 years. STOP THE MADNESS!
What they are doing does not serve their purpose. Tax payers will have to fix all the damages that they are allowing them to destroy. Its just fun for most of them.
We should be able to have statues of our founding fathers up; George Washington's face is NOT racist. Don't let extremist ideologies make us ashamed of our history!
Our historic monuments should be protected! Where is the personal accountability for these hoodlums that are ravaging our community and vandalizing our monuments?

Stand up against nihilist iconoclastic mobs. Damnatio memoriae never ends well.
