This is all happening so quickly. I apologize for the
brevity of this post – action is needed by you, today. Please call, do not
email, your representatives. Phone lines are jammed in the 202 area code of
Washington DC. Call the local offices, and you will most likely get through.
Donald Trump made three terrible actions last week:
- Signed an executive order cracking down on US sanctuary cities for war refugees
- Signed an executive order banning Muslims entry to the US
- Named Steve Bannon to the National Security Council. Bannon has no government, intelligence, or high-level military experience.
Banning war refugees is unconstitutional and directly
violates the rules of the Geneva Convention. These decisions threaten the
security of the US for many reasons. Here are the top two:
- By banning refugees based on faith, this action will be used by ISIS as a recruiting tool, and embolden their claim that the US has declared war on Muslims
- Bannon was the head of Breitbart News, a fake news media outlet that promotes false conspiracy theories, propaganda, and supports white nationalism.
