Plan of ACTION - February 3, 2017

2/2/2017

 
First Action - Betsy DeVos:
  1. On Monday the Senate will vote on the nomination of Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education.
  2. The Department of Education is an administrative agency, which basically makes it a fourth branch of government, with enormous powers to make lasting changes for good or ill in this country’s policies.
  3. Betsy DeVos is a very wealthy individual who has stated publicly (see this article) that she expects to purchase influence with her campaign contributions.
  4. She has contributed substantially to the campaigns of 21 Republican senators, all but one (Murkowski) of whom are expected to vote to confirm her.
Continue trying to reach your senators to ask them to oppose DeVos, especially if they are on the list of those who benefited from a DeVos campaign contribution.

Second Action - Steve Bannon:

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security is taking calls about Bannon’s appointment to the National Security Council. You can call (202) 224-4751 and express your opposition to this appointment.
