Stop Iran War; NO on new SAVE Act, Means & Mullen, & immunity for Big Oil
To: Sen. Durbin, Sen. Duckworth
From: A verified voter in Batavia, IL
March 10
Please vote NO on the even more extreme version of the Save America Act that includes a ban on mail-in voting and new attacks on transgender Americans. Even if Donald Trump is threatening to grind all legislation to a halt, vote No!! TheRepublicans simply want to suppress the vote because otherwise they can't win elections with with their horrible anti-working class, and anti-poor people policies.
Second, I am furious about this war in Iran. American servicemembers are dying, gas prices are skyrocketing, and we are spending a billion dollars a day when Americans can’t even afford healthcare. Meanwhile grocery prices and prices on other items are through the roof! Please pass a War Powers Resolution now! And definitely vote NO on the 50 billion dollars in supplemental funding that the President is asking for. That money could do so much good here in the U S. such funding school lunches or SNAP, or healthcare or Headstart or replacing lead pipes.
Third, you MUST oppose Casey Means for Surgeon General and Mark Wayne Mullin as DHS Director. Means is utterly unfit and dangerous while Mullen is not only unqualified but also an extremist who will never reign ICE in. Vote no on both!
Finally do not allow Big Oil and its allies total legal immunity from any liability for worsening climate change despite the fossil fuel lobbyists’ push to do so. The climate crisis is escalating & as the costs worsen, governments, businesses, community members must retain access to legal and legislative tools to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for the damage they knowingly caused.
Oppose efforts to let the fossil fuel industry escape accountability for its climate deception and pollution. I do not want to see climate polluters get off scott free for their role in fueling the climate crisis.
Thank you.
