The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is voting on Mike Pompeo for Secretary of State this Monday (Apr 23) and a full Senate vote won’t be far behind.
We can still stop this nomination — call your Senators this week and demand they #StopPompeo!
In this crucial role, Mike Pompeo would endanger our place in the world by:
- Helping Trump take us closer to war with Iran and possibly North Korea, too.
- Taking no action to combat climate change, one of the greatest national security threats that we face.
- Further damaging international agreements and institutions.
Call today… with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) opposed and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) absent, Democrats have the power to block the Cabinet nominee on the Senate floor — something they haven’t been able to do since President Trump took office.
Make sure that Schumer and Gillibrand hear from you the vote is this week.
CALL SCRIPT to oppose Mike PompeoCaller: Hello! My name is [name] and I’m calling from [town, zip].
I’m calling because I totally oppose the nomination of Mike Pompeo to serve as Secretary of State. He denies climate science, is a war hawk, and an Islamophobe. I’m concerned he will export Trumpism all over the world if he becomes our top diplomat. Will Senator [name] be voting “no” on his confirmation?
I’d like to see Senator [name] publicly urge [his/her] colleagues to also oppose Pompeo’s nomination.
Staffer: Yes, Senator [name] opposes Pompeo’s nomination and will be voting against confirming him.
Caller: That’s great news. I want to see Senator [name] make a clear public statement opposing Pompeo and urging [his/her] colleagues to do the same.
