Reject E.J. Antoni I urge you to vote AGAINST E.J. Antoni as Bureau of Labor Statistics chief. He is the chief economist of the Heritage Foundation, which is a fascist organization that supports un-American ideas such as denying women the right to vote, and persecution of minorities. Worse, the government needs to make decisions based on accurate data and not whatever the president wants to hear. He needs to face unfavorable data as well as good data, and must be able to work on solutions according to the FACTS - not altered or framed to make him happy. Other presidents have accepted BLS data as reality and used it to make decisions. This president is trying to install an individual who will falsify or eliminate reports to stroke his ego and to mislead the country. Congress should work to reinstate Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, who performed the job expertly and without bias, and NOT confirm E.J. Antoni, a divisive candidate from a fascist organization who will produce whatever numbers the president wants to see - or none at all. Confirming this individual would be abdicating your responsibility to ensure competent leaders in government - yet again.
