TUESDAY CALLS TO ACTION: Stay with me! Don’t give up!

Block Jeff Sessions

He’s a climate change skeptic: Here’s Sessions in a 2015 hearing questioning Environmental Protection Agency’s Gina McCarthy: “Carbon pollution is CO2, and that’s really not a pollutant; that’s a plant food, and it doesn’t harm anybody except that it might include temperature increases.”

Accusations of racism have dogged Sessions’s career: Actually, they almost derailed it. In 1986, a Senate committee denied Sessions, then a 39-year-old U.S. attorney in Alabama, a federal judgeship. His former colleagues testified Sessions used the n-word and joked about the Ku Klux Klan, saying he thought they were “okay, until he learned that they smoked marijuana.””

What you need to know about Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III

 

Here is a script:
I am a constituent calling to oppose Jeff Sessions as Attorney General. He has a history of racist language, has supported a ban on Muslim immigration, and has opposed justice reform. We need an attorney general who is going to support civil rights and all the advances we have made for equal rights for all. He absolutely has no place in the United States Attorney General’s office.

 

 

NSC and Steve Bannon

“His national security experience consists of a graduate degree and seven years in the Navy. More troubling, Bannon’s role as chairman of Breitbart.com, with its racist, misogynist and Islamophobic perspectives, and his avowed desire to blow up our system of government, suggests this is someone who not only has no business being a permanent member of the most powerful consultative body in the world — he has no business being in a position of responsibility in any government.”

The danger of Steve Bannon on the National Security Council

Here’s a script: I am a constituent from zip code ______ concerned about the appointment of Steve Bannon to the national security council and the essential demotion of the Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This is unprecedented and Bannon’s complete lack of government, intelligence and high level military experience coupled with his extreme views are very concerning to me. I would like Mr ______ to make a public statement about his stance on this matter and to voice to him my rising concern about events like this. Thank you so much for your time.
