Lucas,
sign and send the petition to your Senators from New York and urge them:
Block Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary.
Donald Trump's appointee for Education Secretary—Betsy DeVos—was
such an embarrassment that now Senate Republicans are
trying to stop her from having any more committee hearings.
After her disastrous confirmation hearings, you can understand why:
- She defended allowing guns in schools to stop "potential grizzlies."
- She said that disabled kids should not be protected by federal laws.
- She flat-out lied about her connections to extreme right-wing organizations that advocate conversion therapy.
Betsy DeVos is a Cabinet nominee that we can block, and this could blow
the Trump Administration a humiliating defeat. But Republicans are pushing
for a Committee vote on Tuesday.
Your U.S. senators from New York may be crucial. Click here to send them
a quick e-mail, urging them to reject Betsy DeVos.
While we offer some talking points, please take the time to personalize
your message and explain why Betsy DeVos would be such a disastrous pick.
After sending out the e-mail, please call the Capitol Hill switchboard
at (202) 224-3121 to reach your Senators' offices—and leave
them a message as well.
Keep fighting,
Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos
