Dear Ann,

Sign the petition to keep corporate lobbyists out of Trump's government!<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=yN%2BKxRq6YtUQMxXPF1ELV%2F3faMLWpGg4>


Donald Trump has two months to pick his team to run the government. And so far, it's been a mess.

He's fired people over personal disagreements. He's brought in his children to lead both his administration and his business at the same time, with no regard for conflict of interest. And he's appointed White Supremacist Stephen Bannon to be his right-hand man.

Donald Trump doesn't know anything about policy. He isn't even interested in learning. So he should be hiring experts to guide him.

But instead, he's giving key jobs to corporate lobbyists as a reward for their loyalty -- even as he promises to "drain the swamp."

Tell Donald Trump: Keep corporate lobbyists out of government!<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3TXo1sBEFNnK4NlQG0CWpP3faMLWpGg4>

So far, Trump's giving us the worst of both worlds. Instead of bringing in fresh faces who have the people's interests at heart, he's hiring corporate shills to regulate the very industries they came from.

Take Myron Ebell, who could be the head of the EPA. Ebell is a prominent climate denier. He leads the energy policy arm of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a conservative lobby group.

Ebell doesn't think it's the EPA's job to protect our environment. In fact, he'd rather strip the agency of its power to regulate Big Polluters. For starters, he'd tear apart the Clean Power Plan and gut rules on pollutants like methane.

Why would Ebell go to such great lengths to roll back our progress? Because he has lots of friends in the fossil fuel industry. They stand to make big money off of polluting our planet. And Myron Ebell wants to make it easy for them - no matter what the cost to people or the environment.

But it's not just Myron Ebell. Trump has floated an oil company executive's name to head the Department of Energy. And a Goldman Sachs chief to be in charge of Treasury. The list goes on and on.

Tell Donald Trump: People and the planet should come before corporations. No "regulator" jobs for corporate lobbyists!<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ggigQmmsz8jwKnxcXAxz8%2F3faMLWpGg4>

As divided as our country is, we all want a government that puts our interests ahead of Big Oil's and Wall Street's.

Donald Trump exploited his image as an outsider to get to the White House. He convinced voters that things would be different in his Administration. He'd look out for the average person, not giant corporations. But so far he's doing the opposite.

Make no mistake -- Trump has a lot of friends who will benefit from fewer protections for people and the planet. And given his own business empire, he may benefit too.

We can't stay silent while Trump uses the Presidency to enrich himself and his friends. And since his transition team is in shambles, we have a chance to shake things up. But we need you to speak up NOW!

Tell Donald Trump: Don't use the Presidency to enrich yourself and your friends! Keep corporate lobbyists out of your administration.
