Quick Signature: Donald Trump Has NO Mandate!
Donald Trump lost the popular vote by more than 2.6 million votes. He does NOT have a mandate to enact an extremist agenda. But with his cabinet nominations, he's showing us that that’s exactly what he intends to do.
The Senate must stand up for American families, and speak out against Donald Trump’s anti-family appointees. Do NOT rubber-stamp Trump’s outrageous appointments!
The Senate must stand up for American families, and speak out against Donald Trump’s anti-family appointees. Do NOT rubber-stamp Trump’s outrageous appointments!
Why is this important?
Donald Trump does not have a mandate to enact an extremist agenda aimed at destroying some of our most critical government programs and institutions, including healthcare, public schools, and civil rights.
Taken together, President-Elect Trump’s appointment choices to date present a significant threat to our democracy, to the people of our country, and to our economy.
The short list includes:
REPRESENTATIVE TOM PRICE, nominated for Secretary of Health and Human Services, who has made dismantling the Affordable Care Act a landmark goal of his political career;
BETSY DEVOS, a leading proponent of schools vouchers, who, as Education Secretary, would be in a position to chip away at one of the most fundamental cornerstones of civil society: public education;
SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS, nominated for U.S. Attorney General, who has record of racist rhetoric and was previously rejected by the Senate Judiciary Committee over his embrace of policies that would undermine basic civil rights;
ANDY PUZDER, nominated for Labor Secretary, who has consistently prioritized corporate profits over the local economy and welfare of workers;
STEVE BANNON, selected to be incoming chief White House strategist, who is a propagandist for white supremacy, and would bring sexism, anti-semitism, homophobia, racism and transphobia with him to the Oval Office.
Selecting cabinet leaders who have a history of being anti-healthcare, anti-public school, anti-civil rights, anti-worker, and pro-white supremacy is not the America that the majority of Americans voted for.
Remind Senate leaders that Donald Trump does not have a mandate, and tell them to stop his appointments now!
