Action 106: BisignaNO!
Background: Another of Trump’s unqualified and dangerous nominees is coming up for a confirmation vote Tuesday in the Senate. A vote for this self-described “DOGE person”, Frank Bisignano, is a vote to destroy social security. The following is excerpted from Senator Ron Wyden (see Extra Credit) “...the Trump administration has attacked nearly every aspect of Social Security. First it was Americans’ sensitive private information protected by Social Security. Then it was scheduling field offices for closure across the country. Then it was eliminating phone service for many Social Security claims...The whiplash caused by day after day of disruption and chaos has resulted in bedlam at Social Security, and it has put the earned benefits of millions of Americans in jeopardy... If Frank Bisignano is confirmed, he will bring more of the same chaos, lies and callous disregard for Americans who count on Social Security that the Trump Administration has brought to the agency through DOGE...Even if the Republican Party decides to pretend none of this is happening, Americans from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine are speaking out.”
Action: Again, contact Susan Collins. Simple message: either it’s NO to Bisignano for Social Security Commissioner, or you will work hard to expose her hypocrisy about being a defender of social security. (Copy Senator King on your email to Collins)
