Oil Kleptocrat of State; Un-Education Secretary of No-Brainer

Dear U.S. Senators, Please vote no on the nomination of Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State. Exxon Mobil is a global criminal enterprise for the way they have delayed climate action and exacerbated climate change. This is a cynical man who will make America's foreign policy focused on extracting oil and causing wars. Future generations will not forgive the destruction we have caused when we let oil companies run our country and delay us from creating a more sustainable world. Also, from a political perspective, what type of resistance do you think you will be giving the Trump agenda when you green light his picks? Do you think the Republicans will be grateful for your support and your vote? Do you think they will respond in kind and support your issues? Very naive. Have you seen what they did to President Obama? Please follow the lead of your fellow Senator Bernie Sanders. He is showing true leadership in a time of crisis. Also, vote no on Betsy De Vos, the nominee for Education Secretary who wants to privatize our public education system, and create a Christian curriculum that violates the separation of church and state and would be anti-science and anti-climate. We need a secular, science-based curriculum that can help us stop climate change! Please be strong and give hope to progressives!
