Today’s Action: Stop Trump’s nomination of Mike Pompeo
By one vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee has approved Mike Pompeo, Trump’s pick for Secretary of State, and his nomination now moves to the full Senate, where all Republicans and three Democrats – Heidi Heitkamp (ND), Joe Manchin (WV), and Joe Connelly (IN) – are expected to give their approval as well.
Unless we change their minds.
Mike Pompeo is an Islamophobic, climate-change denying, torture-supporting warmonger. And if that’s not a clear enough picture, Trump has even said of Pompeo, “We have a very similar thought process.”
Secretary of State serves as our country’s most important ambassador. If confirmed, we can have no doubt that Pompeo will work hard to spread Trump’s devastating ideology worldwide. It’s crucial we act fast to stop his confirmation.
Contact your Senators and tell them to vote down Mike Pompeo’s nomination as Secretary of State.
For starters, Pompeo opposed the Paris climate accord and dismisses most climate science. As Secretary of State, he could send us reeling even more rapidly into the devastating effects of climate change.
Throw in: his attempt to ban ALL refugees, desire to bring back waterboarding, repeated aggression toward American Muslims, and suggestion that Trump invade North Korea — this is absolutely NOT the person we want as our global ambassador.
Pompeo received 14 Democratic votes when he was confirmed as head of the CIA last year. We must work hard now to ensure not a single Democrat votes for Pompeo as Secretary of State, in addition to raising our voices to Republican senators.
Email or call (202.224.3121) your Senators and demand they oppose Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State. If they don’t change their tune, they’ll see our opposition to them during midterms.
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition telling Congress to revoke Trump’s blank check to wage war overseas, and join the Americans demanding Congress protect Dreamers NOW!
