[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate to Reject Trump's National Intelligence Nominee, John
Ratcliffe! Sign today>>
PFAW Member,
It should be beyond reason for Donald Trump to nominate someone who is a
clear and present danger to our intelligence community to be Director of
National Intelligence (DNI). Yet, that’s exactly what Trump has done.
Texas Representative John Ratcliffe has a history of attempting to
discredit our national intelligence organizations,^1 the same ones that
Trump has re-nominated him to run.
Ratcliffe is so ill-qualified to be assigned this vital post that he
already failed as a nominee last year after facing bipartisan opposition
in Congress. Now, thanks to his unwavering loyalty to Trump during the
impeachment hearings, he’s been nominated as DNI once again.
[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate that Ratcliffe is a danger to our nation’s security and
should not be DNI. >>
In addition to his disregard for America’s intelligence community – a
disregard that includes spreading conspiracy theories about their work^2 –
Ratcliffe has repeatedly lied about his qualifications for the post. He
made false claims about his involvement in a massive immigration crackdown
and greatly exaggerated his role in a high-profile terrorism case while
working as a prosecutor in Texas.^3
Someone who lies so egregiously about events that are easily fact-checked
has no right to be guiding the most sensitive and secure information
passing through our government.
[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION: Protect our nation from John Ratcliffe becoming DNI.
>>
The DNI’s role requires that person to be above any partisan politics –
it’s crucial in order to keep our country safe. But Ratcliffe is far more
interested in becoming one of Trump’s most valuable allies than doing what
the job would require.
[ [link removed] ]Add your name today to reject Ratcliffe. >>
In solidarity,
- Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
