I'm writing to urge the Senator to oppose the nomination of Jay Clayton for Director of National Intelligence. The nation's top intelligence official should have significant intelligence and national security experience, and Clayton lacks those qualifications. Also, please oppose the inclusion of the Save Our Bacon Act in the Farm Bill. This harmful provision will roll back crucial animal cruelty protections and undermine the ability of states and voters to establish their own animal welfare standards. Lastly, oppose the amendment to S. 140, the Wildfire Prevention Act, that repeals the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. The Roadless Rule has been critically important in preventing wildfires and providing communities with clean drinking water, and those safeguards should remain in place. Thanks
