Pruitt is up for senate vote for head of EPA TOMORROW. Now's the time to call to oppose him,

if you have time.

Switchboard to get through to your senator: 202-225-3121

If you want to look at something to say beyond just saying you oppose him, (which is enough) here's what one of my senators stated as rationale:

His impact will be profound. Let's fight this with all we have.

That's great! Every call/email counts, incrementally more pressure to reconsider. JudyM Feb 2017 #3

Here it is, a judge's order... not that the senate will take it into consideration, but at least it'll give more resistance.

Yes, we need to try and stop it now but in the event he is confirmed I hope people will consider donating money to the conservation org of their choice. My hope is that some of what Pruitt plans on doing can be delayed,mitigated,obstructed etc. by lawsuits and these are the organizations that would help fund those lawsuits.

I just used the first thing that popped into my head (inspired by DUers who talked about the idea he may be a drunk). People seem to like it. I've had a number of comments which I didn't expect.
