Sign the petition to U.S. Senators: Block all Trump appointees
Donald Trump's selection of Stephen Bannon—a dangerous white supremacist—is proof that he has no interest in governing in an inclusive way. We request that you block all Trump appointees that require Senate approval.
Why is this important?
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed white supremacist Stephen Bannon to a senior advisory position in the White House. David Duke calls the appointment "excellent."
And it's a harbinger of things to come. Expect more awful appointees.
Many Senate Democrats (from Dianne Feinstein to Harry Reid) have spoken out against Bannon. But the appointment itself does not require Senate approval.
However, Trump will be making hundreds of executive branch and judicial appointments that do require Senate approval. And any Senator can put a hold on these nominations, for any reason.
It is time for the Senate to take a firm stand against white supremacy, and block any all Trump appointees.
