1) Keep the Heat on Trump's Divisive Cabinet Nominees: Hearings for many of Donald's cabinet nominees may have occurred last week, but the fight is far from over. Ethical scandals, financial conflicts, and outstanding questions plague many nominees. There's still time to block nominees like the four highlighted below. Call and visit your Senators to tell them to oppose these nominees!
- Today, Monday, January 23rd: There’s one big vote up today:
- Rex Tillerson, long-time CEO of ExxonMobil, for Secretary of State. Unsurprisingly he expressed skepticism about the dangers of climate change during his confirmation hearing.
- Tomorrow, Tuesday January 24th: Two big votes up tomorrow:
- Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. Sessions has regularly opposed civil rights legislation and he has extreme anti-immigration views.
2) Tell Your Representative, "Vote No on HR 7, Yes for Women's Healthcare".Seriously, republicans are planning to respond to Saturday's historic Women's March in Washington with a vote on HR 7, a bill that would restrict women's reproductive rights. It’s not the first time Republicans have tried to pass this anti-woman bill.
- Tom Price for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Price is a radical conservative and there are also unanswered ethical questionsswirling around his nomination.
