“Our men and women in uniform, our intelligence and homeland security professionals, and our citizens should feel secure in their knowledge that the critical decisions made by the NSC are free from political considerations. The American people deserve a national security policymaking process that inspires confidence, not cynicism,” said Murphy in a House floor speech.
CALL THIS WOMAN’S OFFICE AND SAY THANK YOU. ENCOURAGE HER TO PUSH HARD FOR THIS BILL. CALL YOUR LOCAL CONGRESSPEOPLE AND ASK THEM TO SPONSOR/SUPPORT IT!
here’s a possible script for talking to your reps:
good evening, my name is [name] and i am a constituent from [town, state]. i am calling to urge you to support florida congresswoman stephanie murphy’s “protect the national security council from political interference act.” this bill would remove stephen bannon from the national security council. bannon’s white supremacist and anti-semitic ideology is deeply disturbing and he has even told media outlets that he wants to destroy the state. obviously, having this man on the national security council would be devastating for our nation.
i urge you to take a stand against bannon’s dangerous agenda by supporting congresswoman murphy’s bill [for congresspeople]/introducing congresswoman murphy’s bill to the senate [for senators].
this is pretty basic; feel free to add more personal details. reps like it when you tell your story a little. for example, i included in my call that i am a jewish woman who is personally affected by bannon’s anti-semitic ideology.
