Get Scott Pruitt Out of the EPA
We the people find EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt in violation of his sworn oath to "Well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter."
We find that instead of discharging his duties as America's top environmental enforcement official, Mr. Pruitt has implemented a program to gut the EPA from within and slash funding for clean air, clean water, toxic waste, and other environmental safeguards. He has also disregarded scientific findings, silenced scientists and policy experts, spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on lavish trips, and operated in secrecy.
We find that in these and other actions, Scott Pruitt is putting polluter interests ahead of the public good and is unfit for the office he holds.
For these reasons, we call for Scott Pruitt's dismissal.

Why is this important?
Pruitt has worked to derail more environmental safeguards in a shorter period of time than ever before in EPA’s 47-year history—all while spending close to $43,000 of taxpayer money to ensure nobody at EPA overhears his conversation with the President or the oil and gas industry executive he routinely hosts in his office. It's time to get him out of the EPA.
