FRIDAY 1/13/2017 CALL TO ACTIVISM AGAINST TRUMP!

|
Make our voices heard about Ben Carson!
Ben Carson's appointment is one of the most disappointing decisions to come from our incoming President-Elect.
Dr. Carson admitted he had no experience to take a cabinet position (after running for president) and as a surgeon with NO housing experience, he'll take on an organization that has crucial implications for so many.
Aside from calling our Senators (only they vote on appointments) there is a list of Civil Servants who might also need to hear the People are watching:

HOW TO USE YOUR VOICE:
When you call, you can use the following script:
SCRIPT
"Hello, my name is [your name here] and I am from the state of [your state here]. I am calling today to urge your swift and vocal opposition of Dr. Ben Carson's appointment to HUD secretary.
I am one of many citizens and voters who believe Dr. Carson is not the right choice for this position. He is simply not qualified and HUD is too important for on the job training of an Agency Secretary.
To make matters worse, Dr. Carson himself admitted he did not have enough experience to hold a previous cabinet position.
HUD is an extremely important agency and 'over the next four years, HUD will be at the forefront of some of the most pressing challenges we face as a nation. Strengthening our housing finance system. Addressing an acute shortage of affordable housing. Getting private companies and individuals to invest in community redevelopment efforts. You can’t learn how to tackle these issues on the job.'*
Thank you."
