FEDERAL ACTION ALERT – February 3, 2025

Produced by Coconino County Democratic Party

  1. Demand our Senators and House Representative honor their oath to protect the Constitution RIGHT NOW!!  We are two weeks into a COUP.  Trump has illegally fired 18 Inspector Generals.  Trump has illegally fired the prosecutors of the January 6 rioters.  Trump has illegally fired the top heads of many FBI field offices.  Trump intends to illegally fire, potentially thousands of FBI agents who participated in the January 6 Capital insurrectionists.  While Trump denied any connection to Project 2025 during his campaign, almost 2/3 of his executive orders mirror specific elements of Project 2025.  Trump has ordered federal employees to remove all pronouns from their email as well as ordered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to scrub from their work any reference to gender, transgender, pregnant person, LGBT, transexual, etc. from all their research manuscripts – which affects almost any major study done.  Trump has illegally cut off nearly $60 billion in funding to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) which provides humanitarian assistance to fight starvation and provide basic medical care for the most vulnerable world populations – effectively ending 80 years of U.S. goodwill on the international stage.  Trump has illegally allowed Elon Musk to force the resignation of the top-ranking career official in the Treasury Department and he and his operatives have gained complete access and control of the United States check book.  Musk can now control the nation’s payment system and simply stop whatever payments they wish.  Look out for your Social Security checks!!  Our Congressional representatives need to hear from us, the American Citizen, that this is not business as usual.  We need to tell them that we expect them to firmly take back the authority of Congress, stop the Coup, and assert the rule of law and the spirit of the Constitution.  DO YOUR JOB!!
  • Demand our Senators reject the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr as Secretary of Health and Human Services!  RFK Jr. is a anti-science conspiracist and anti-vaccine zealot who Trump wanst to put in charge of HHS.  HHS involves the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, Head Start, and the National Institutes of Health, as well as Medicare and Medicaid.  If confirmed, JFK Jr would be a direct threat to our nation’s public health infrastructure and to the well-being of every person in America and, indeed, the world!! DO NOT CONFIRM JFK Jr!!
  • Demand our Senators reject the confirmation of Kash Patel as Director of the FBI!!  Patel is a MAGA fanatic and “deep state” conspiracist.  He has been brazen in announcing his intention to weaponize the FBI against government officials, journalists, nonprofit groups, and the American people.  As an example of how untruthful he is, during his confirmation hearing this past week he claimed not to be familiar with a far-right podcaster who promotes antisemitism and white supremacism even though he has been on the man’s podcast eight times!!  Kash Patel MUST NOT BE CONFIRMED AS DIRECTOR OF THE FBI!!
  • Demand our Senators reject the confirmation of Russell Vought as Director of the Office of Management and Budget!  Vought is a Christian nationalist and one of the architects of Project 2025.  Trump wants to put him in charge of a mundane sounding organization that effectively oversees everything the entire executive branch does.  Vought is fixated on a maximalist vision of presidential power that would let Trump ignore Congress and the Constitution.  He is committed to using the government power to advance the view that America should officially be a Christian nation.  The illegal freeze on all federal grants and loans this past week is exactly the kind of thing the American people will be subjected to again and again if Vought is confirmed!  Russell Vought MUST NOT BE CONFIRMED as head of the Office of Management and Budget!!
  • Insist that our Senators refuse to support the recently house passed bill “Fix Our Forests Act”!! The Fix our Forests Act has been recently touted by our House Representative, Eli Crane, as some magic fix for overgrown forests.  It was passed while the fires in LA made it easier for Republicans to drum up fear and push this bill through the House.  This act would do nothing to prevent the LA fires.  Those fires originated in brushy urban areas, driven by high winds and drought, where no amount of forest thinning would have prevented.  This measure is a harmful logging bill that makes it easier for loggers to thin forests on public lands by bypassing environmental reviews and public input.  REJECT THE FIX OUR FOREST ACT!!
