I just made this call

Greenpeace

Kathleen-

Thanks for signing the petition to stop Rex Tillerson from becoming Secretary of State.

Can you make the call?

Now take the next step and call your senators today! 
Call 1-855-636-8150 right now and we’ll connect you.

"My philosophy is to make money … and so if I can drill and make money, then that’s what I want to do."

That’s a quote from Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson1, the man Donald Trump wants to be the next Secretary of State. I’m not about to let that happen, and I know you aren’t either.

Already, you and thousands of others have signed the petition asking the Senate to block Tillerson’s confirmation. You and I both know that a fossil fuel lover like Rex — who has used his company’s wealth to block clean energy and push for oil drilling in the Arctic — has no place in our government.

There’s still time for the Senate to block Tillerson’s confirmation, and we need to take every opportunity to make sure they do. Will you make a call to your senators today and ask them to vote against Tillerson’s confirmation? Call 1-855-636-8150 or text REX to 877877 and talk to your senators right now!

Calling your senator’s office is one of the most effective ways to make sure they hear your concerns. Senate staffers are required to record every call and report them to their bosses — so they will definitely hear from you.

Even if your senators are already opposed to Tillerson, they need to know you are too. It will take strong leadership from within the Senate to convince those on the fence to come out against this dangerous nomination, and it’s up to us to make sure they follow through.

And if your senators are some of those on the fence, then they definitely need to hear from you. Tillerson has spent his career putting Exxon’s profits above the needs of people and the environment — he would be a disaster as Secretary of State.

Call 1-855-636-8150 today and make sure the Senate knows that the American people don’t want the CEO of Exxon anywhere near the White House!

Already in 2017, we’ve seen pressure from people like you force Congress to change its course. Most recently, a “flood of calls” from voters convinced Republican members of the House of Representatives to abandon a plan to gut the Office of Congressional Ethics.2

I know we can do the same to stop Rex Tillerson, but we need absolutely everyone to step up — and that includes you. Please make a call to your senators today at 1-855-636-8150, or by texting REX to 877877. Together we can stop Trump and Tillerson from unleashing climate chaos!

Thanks for all you do,

P.S. I got off the phone with my senators’ offices earlier today, and I can’t tell you how good it felt to speak out against Trump and Tillerson. Now will you join me? Call 1-855-636-8150 or just text REX to 877877 and talk to your senators  then ask a friend to do the same!
