COAL LOBBYIST NOMINATED TO EPA: Oppose Andrew Wheeler for EPA Deputy Adminsitrator
Long-time coal lobbyist and climate-change denier Scott Wheeler is up for the second most powerful post at the EPA. With EPA secretary Scott Pruitt’s job on the line, the Senate confirmation vote is more critical than ever. UPDATE 4/12: WHEELER WAS CONFIRMED, with Collins voting yes and King no.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS: Block Trump’s Transgender Ban
With four federal courts blocking his discriminatory ban on trans troops, Trump recently issued a new, but similarly flawed order reportedly drafted by LGBTQ opponent Mike Pence.
QUICK ACTION: Speak out in support of ALL our troops, and ask King, Pingree, and Poliquin to support the bipartisan bills that would prevent Trump’s ban from taking effect with this easy tool!
OMNIBUS BUDGET: Demand Removal of “Poison Pill” Riders
The omnibus budget bill has just passed the House and is now on its way to the Senate, with a Friday deadline for passage. While some of the worst proposals appear to have been removed, many others that impact environmental protections, the Mueller investigation, campaign finance, and dark money may still be included.
QUICK ACTION: Learn more about these “poison pill” riders, and call your MoC to demand their removal.
