SIGN NOW: Kristi Noem wants airports to parrot her partisan propaganda. Tell her to focus on keeping Americans safe, not partisan politics >>

SIGN THE PETITION

John, Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem want to turn air travelers into a captive audience for their partisan propaganda.

We’re already facing flight delays due to Trump’s government shutdown [1] – now, Trump and Noem want to force us to watch their video pinning blame for this shutdown on the other side, even though they’re the ones in charge! [2]

It’s yet another attempt to politicize basic government services – and Common Cause is fed up.

That’s why we just filed three ethics complaints, just like we did after official websites for agencies like the CDC, FDA, and others – which are taxpayer-funded and meant to be unbiased – instead echoed the GOP’s shutdown talking points. [3]

Here’s the good news, John: the American people aren’t falling for Trump and Noem’s trick this time. The top 10 busiest airports in the country have all refused to air this hyper-partisan video [4] – and if you think they made the right decision, here’s your chance to show it.

Noem and Trump are strong-arming public servants into playing shutdown politics and distracting TSA from keeping us safe. Add your name to condemn their partisan abuse of public trust >>

John, Donald Trump can only make himself a dictator if everyone else goes along with it.

Even from the White House, he can’t just seize the total power he wants – his administration has to convince independent institutions like businesses, journalists, and academia to fall in line and do his dirty work for him.

That’s where your voice comes in.

When Trump’s FCC chair strong-armed ABC and Disney into kicking Jimmy Kimmel off the air, millions of Americans responded by joining our Turn Off Disney boycott and forcing them to put Kimmel back on the air. [5] It’s proof that people power can take on Trump’s intimidation and propaganda – and win.

Now, as airports across the country hold firm in the face of Trump’s partisan pressure campaign – we need to make sure they know we have their back.

It shouldn’t be radical to expect our government to follow basic ethics rules – under any Administration. If you agree, can you add your name today?

The American people deserve a president focused on improving their lives, not one who turns government communications into partisan propaganda.

Thanks for all you do,

The team at Common Cause
