Condemn Manafort Pardon

FEDERAL CALL TO ACTION: Wednesday, August 29, 2018
CONDEMN MANAFORT PARDON
Submitted by Jean Sealey

CALL OR RESISTBOT: Tell your representatives in the Senate and the House that you strongly oppose a pardon for now-convicted felon Paul Manafort by the president.

We claim to be a …

BLOCK KAVANAUGH APPOINTMENT TO SCOTUS

ADDITIONAL DAILY ACTION: Please add this action every single day
Call or Resistbot your Senators.
NO TO BRETT KAVANAUGH FOR SCOTUS

CALL OR RESISTBOT FLORIDA SENATORS BILL NELSON AND MARCO RUBIO – EVERY DAY!

Sen Marco Rubio
DC 202-224-3041
JAX – 904-354-4300

Sen Bill Nelson
DC – 202-224-5274
JAX – 904-346-4500

Contact your U.S. Senators to oppose the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to SCOTUS, based on his past rulings and statements, that he would be hostile to the existence of a Special Counsel. Since there is a possibility that a challenge to Special Counsel Mueller and the investigation into activities of the Trump campaign may come before SCOTUS, Kavanaugh’s open support for overturning SCOTUS decisions could pave the way for Mueller to be removed from office and the investigation halted or its results undermined.

Trump picked Kavanaugh to be the deciding vote to overturn Roe v. Wade and decimate the ACA. He is terrifyingly far right of the mainstream. And we can’t depend on him to actually serve as a check on President Trump: Kavanaugh believes sitting presidents should be exempt from criminal prosecution and investigation!

Trump is under investigation for obstruction of justice and for colluding with Russia. The Senate should NOT confirm the nominee of a lawless president. Can I count on the Senator to vote against Brett Kavanaugh?
