An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Reject E.J. Antoni - America needs an unbiased BLS chief

10 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

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 reports, and not whatever news 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 the accurate, unbiased BLS data as reality and used it to make decisions to improve our economy. This president is trying to install an individual who will falsify or eliminate reports to stroke his ego and to mislead the country, with no regard to the state of the economy. 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 the executive branch - yet again.
