Here is how to make your voice heard. Call the Senate Committee on Homeland Security. I got through this morning and left a voicemail. Also, send the email. Tell them no to Bannon being on the National Security Council.
One of the jobs of the NSC is to oversee a secret panel that authorizes the assassination of “enemies of the United States Government” – including American citizens. These targeted killings are fully authorized by law under the Congressional military authorization act following 9/11. There is no trial, no due process, and no public record of the decision or the assassination itself.
Just to recap the absurdity: the President of the United States has appointed a known propagandist, nationalist, and white supremacist to replace the highest military adviser in the country on a council that authorizes secret, legal, targeted killings of American citizens (and others) without due process.

Dear Deborah,
We just learned that the Senate Committee on Homeland Security is taking calls about Steve Bannon's appointment to the National Security Council (NSC).
We’re told that they’re tallying calls.
You might get a busy signal but try, try, try again all this weekend. Leave a message if you get through to voicemail.
The number: 202-224-4751
Be sure to tell the committee that you believe no individual whose primary responsibility is political in nature should be allowed on the NSC or authorized to attend its meetings. Partisan politics have no place in our national security.
Please also email the committee using this form.
Thank you,
Your friends at the SPLC
PS On Thursday the GOP controlled house voted to overturn Obama's rule restricting gun sales to the severely mentally ill. Can you believe it? http://www.npr.org/2017/02/02/513126985/house-votes-to-overturn-obama-rule-restricting-gun-sales-to-mentally-ill?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20170203 |
Also, in a predawn vote the GOP voted to repeal transparency laws for oil companies requiring them to disclose payments to foreign governments. What is it with the dark-of-night voting by the GOP? Why is everything hidden from the light of day?
