Dear John,

Sign the petition to Senate Democrats: Use committee control to investigate corporate America.

For the past two years, the makeup of U.S. Senate committees has been divided evenly between Democrats and Republicans to reflect the 50-50 split in the full chamber.

However, with an incoming 51-49 majority (when including Independents), Senate Democrats can now have true control of committees, opening the door to more investigative authority. Through greater oversight ability and subpoena power, committee and subcommittee chairs can begin to tackle corruption in corporate America.

SIGN THE PETITION

Senate progressives plan to rise to the challenge. Sen. Bernie Sanders is expected to chair the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, where he hopes to investigate price gouging of pharmaceutical drugs. Sen. Richard Blumenthal is in line to become chair of the Consumer Production and Product Safety Subcommittee and wants to look into Big Tech, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is ready to investigate energy companies and climate change in the Budget Committee.

It’s clear that Senate Democrats are already preparing to use their majority strategically in the next Congress. Our senators will have no shortage of work to prioritize—nominations, legislation, budgeting—but they can walk and chew gum at the same time. As their responsibilities begin to pile up, let’s remind Senate Democrats that we’re counting on them to follow through on their promises to investigate corporate America.

Sign the petition to Senate Democrats: Use committee control to investigate corporate America.

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world.

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
