Action re: Steve Bannon

[Deleted]

Copied from Facts Trump Fears:

I am sure that you all know by now, Steve Bannon and his white supremacy is the real threat to our country. Not only is he behind most of Trump’s horrific moves this first week, he was appointed to replace the Joint Chief of Staffs on the NSC without vetting by Congress. It is time to force the GOP to make a choice:

“For the community of conservative thinkers and experts, and more importantly, conservative politicians, this is a testing time. Either you stand up for your principles and for what you know is decent behavior, or you go down, if not now, then years from now, as a coward or opportunist. Your reputation will never recover, nor should it.”

Also copied from the FB page:
Yesterday, WHILE WE WERE WATCHING THE OTHER HAND IN THE CON MAN’S SHELL GAME… Trump removed the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence from the National Security Council. He replaced them with Steve Bannon. Bannon has no government, intelligence, or high-level military experience; his experience is leading a propaganda outlet (Breitbart News) that peddles nationalist and white nationalist viewpoints.
This would be deeply concerning in and of itself. But one of the jobs of the NSC is to oversee a secret panel that authorizes the assassination of “enemies of the United States Government” – including American citizens. These targeted killings are fully authorized by law under the Congressional military authorization act following 9/11. There is no trial, no due process, and no public record of the decision or the assassination itself.
Just to recap the absurdity: the President of the United States has appointed a known propagandist, nationalist, and white supremacist to replace the highest military advisor in the country on a council that authorizes secret, legal, targeted killings of American citizens (and others) without due process.
What You Can Do:
- Call your Senators and Congressperson this week and demand that they publicly and legislatively oppose Trump’s appointment of Steven Bannon to the NSC.
- Spread the word about this news to your networks, since this is not getting a lot of coverage right now.

UPDATE

If you are concerned about Steve Bannon's proposed security role--please call and register your concerns. Here is a proposed script--modify if you like.

The script is below.
"Hello my name is ______, I'm from _____. I don't need a call back. I'm calling because Steve Bannon is a white supremacist talk show host and he is unfit for a leadership role ANYWHERE within our government. Thank you."

Bannon needs confirmation from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security to actually be appointed to the National Security Council.

The committee is taking comments right now at this line:
202-224-4751

Call and register your protest. It takes seconds and will give us a lifetime of peace. The calls are coming so quickly there is a recorded voice asking for name, number and brief message.
PLEASE call ASAP! DO NOT ALLOW Bannon to be on the National Security Council!!
