Plan of ACTION - February 7, 2017

2/6/2017

0 Comments

 

1. Ban Bannon
:


The Senate Committee on Homeland Security is taking calls about Steve Bannon’s appointment to the National Security Council. If you haven’t done so already, you can call (202) 224-4751 and express your opposition to the appointment of this dangerous man.

2. Oppose Nominations:

After DeVos, there are several upcoming nominations:
  • Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. Known for opposing civil rights legislation, in particular the Voting Rights Act.
  • Tom Price for Secretary of Health & Human Services. Price has been a vocal opponent of Obamacare and has troubling conflicts of interest.
  • Scott Pruitt for Director of the Environmental Protection Agency. Definitely a case of putting the fox in charge of the hen house. He is a climate change denier who wants to dismantle the EPA.

Republican Senators: continue reaching out to your senators to oppose these nominations and the appointment of Bannon. Call or fax. ("Speak Out" tab above.)

Democratic Senators: call and ask them if they will commit to withhold consent on Senate business and use the filibuster to stop other legislation if necessary. This triggers considerable time-consuming procedural delay.

3. Heads Up:

​Congress will be on recess February 20-24, and your congressperson will be back in the district, holding events. This is where the alerts that you signed up for on February 1  will come in handy, as you’ll be able to keep an eye open for town hall meetings, etc. that you can attend and shout a lot and just generally behave like a Tea Partier.
