Plan of ACTION – August 16, 2017

8/15/2017

0 Comments

 
Sam Clovis
 
President Trump has nominated Sam Clovis for Chief Scientist of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Given that Clovis is not a scientist, this could have a negative impact on our environment if he makes unfounded choices about which research is appropriate to conduct.
 
Action:
 
  1. Sign this petition to senators to stop the appointment of Clovis
 
  1. Send a postcard to one of your senators state offices since they’re on August recess asking them not to approve Clovis’ appointment. You can borrow the language from the Forbes article linked above: “Overseeing the USDA's research programs requires strong expertise in biological science. A non-scientist has no basis for deciding which research is going well or which questions present the most promising avenues for research.”
