SIGN NOW: Kristi Noem wants airports to parrot her partisan propaganda – but they refused. Thank them for doing the right thing >>
Pamela, 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, Pamela: 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.
That's because airports are about to face serious MAGA pressure to cave – and your voice can help make sure they hold firm. Can you add your name to say thanks today?
Pamela, 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.
We need more leadership like this – and less complying in advance with Trump's dictator-like demands. If you agree, can you add your name to say thanks?
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
