THE REAL UNDENIABLE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP
8 years ago
I urge you to stand against Donald Trump's cabinet appointments and to reject his attempt to fill his administration with climate deniers and industry insiders.
These appointments are unfit to run the agencies Trump has appointed them to lead:
Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil for Secretary of State: Exxon knew about climate change nearly 40 years ago, but lied and misled the public for decades.
Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma Attorney General for head of the Environmental Protection Agency: Pruitt has taken over $300,000 from the oil and gas industry. He is a climate denier and has fought and sued the EPA throughout his career.
Rick Perry, former governor of Texas for Energy Secretary: Perry sits on the board of Energy Transfer Partners, the company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Andy Puzder, fast food CEO for Secretary of Labor: Puzder opposes the minimum wage and rules to protect workers.
Rep. Ryan Zinke of Montana for Secretary of Interior: Zinke has received hefty donations from Big Oil & Gas and co-sponsored legislation to speed up the approval process for fracked gas pipelines.
Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama for U.S. Attorney General: Sessions was rejected by Republicans for a judgeship in the 80s because he was deemed too racist. Sessions also helped introduce the first legislation to exempt fracking from regulations protecting our drinking water.
Trump is attempting to stack his administration with corporate insiders who will put corporate profits ahead of our communities. Appointing them would give Big Oil & Gas unprecedented access and potential power in Trump's administration. Cabinet positions should represent the best interests of the American people -- not those of major international corporations.

Of course in out constant fight against the Groper in Chief, we can't let him distract us from the GOP controlled Congress, which can do more damage than the Popular Vote Loser can on his own.
