Call Senator Rubio and tell him to reject Rex Tillerson's nomination -- it only takes two minutes to have a big impact:
we knew that our work as Democrats and citizens was about to get a lot harder.
With the GOP now in control of both houses of Congress and the White House, we need to step up every day to fight back against the Republican agenda. And we're counting on folks like you in Florida to go the extra mile, and call Senator Rubio's office and tell him to oppose Rex Tillerson's nomination to be our next Secretary of State.
Rex Tillerson has spent his entire career at ExxonMobil -- where he forged a close business relationship with Russia, signing a potential $500 billion deal with their state-controlled oil company, as well as a close friendship with Vladimir Putin himself. And when President Obama imposed sanctions on Russia after Putin invaded Ukraine -- sanctions that affected Exxon's big deal in Russia and Rex Tillerson's own bottom line -- Tillerson personally amplified Exxon's lobbying effort to let the venture continue, something he's now denying.
Of all Trump's troubling cabinet picks, this one has both Democrats and Republicans concerned. And Senator Rubio will have a lot to answer for if he decides to support him. So we've built a handy call tool for you to call his office and let Rubio know that Floridians do not support the confirmation of Rex Tillerson:
