Urgent: Oppose Gorsuch

mardi 21 mars 2017 à 01:00

US citizens: call on senators (specifically Democrats) to oppose Gorsuch.

Then phone your own senators (one after the other) via 1-888-877-2040 to tell them the same thing.

People for the American Way mailed me this:

With his history of favoring corporate interests above everyday people, it should be no surprise that the New York Times just reported that Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch has ties to reclusive Colorado billionaire Philip F. Anschutz. Formerly a lawyer representing Anschutz's companies in court, Gorsuch now owns property in Colorado with some of Anschutz's closest associates. Anschutz is reported to have provided funding to both the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society, the two far-right organizations to which Trump outsourced the job of creating his list of Supreme Court nominees, from which Gorsuch was chosen. Between his close relationship with an ultra-conservative billionaire and his decisions that have favored corporations and harmed workers and consumers, it's clear that the majority of Americans who want to save our democracy from the influence of big money have a lot to worry about when it comes to this nominee.

Extreme air pollution in China is caused partly by polar effects of global heating.

That exacerbates the effects of the combustion that itself contributes to global heating.

Urgent: Oppose heating-denialist nominees

mardi 21 mars 2017 à 01:00

US citizens: phone your senators to oppose two more of the troll's heating-denialist nominees: Dan Coats for Director of National Intelligence, and Sonny Perdue for Saboteur of Agriculture.

Climate Hawks Vote suggested saying this:

Hi, my name is ____, and I am your constituent calling from _____. I am calling to demand that Senator ____ vote to oppose the confirmations of climate denier Dan Coats for Director of National Intelligence and Sonny Perdue for Secretary of Agriculture. Can I get a commitment to vote against these nominees?

Dan Coats, Climate Denier

Sonny Perdue, Climate Denier

Five Democratic senators voted for Coats in the intelligence committee.
