Florida congresswoman, and Winter Park resident, Stephanie Murphy filed a bill Wednesday that would essentially remove Trump's top political advisor Stephen Bannon from the National Security...

“Our men and women in uniform, our intelligence and homeland security professionals, and our citizens should feel secure in their knowledge that the critical decisions made by the NSC are free from political considerations. The American people deserve a national security policymaking process that inspires confidence, not cynicism,” said Murphy in a House floor speech. CALL THIS WOMAN’S OFFICE AND SAY THANK YOU. ENCOURAGE HER TO PUSH HARD FOR THIS BILL. CALL YOUR LOCAL CONGRESSPEOPLE AND ASK THEM TO SPONSOR/SUPPORT IT!

Find your representative Find your senator

ftr this bill is officially called “Protect The National Security Council From Political Interference Act” (link to official congressional info re: the bill and where it stands)

I called Representative Murphy’s office today and talked with a staffer - I’m not from Florida, and I told them so upfront, and asked how I could support this bill in my home state. The staffer said to definitely call my own state Representative and Senators, both - if we can find a Senator to support the bill, they can introduce it into the Senate and it can be voted on in both houses of Congress at the same time. IF YOU HAVE A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR, PLEASE CALL THEM AND ALERT THEM TO THE EXISTENCE OF THIS MEASURE, AND ASK THEM TO INTRODUCE IT TO THE SENATE.

He also said that calls to Representative Murphy’s office definitely help, in terms of tallying support for the measure in general.

PLEASE CALL.

ACTION ITEM: call your senators and ask them to support Rep. Murphy’s movement to remove Steve Bannon from the National Security Council. Emphasize Bannon’s white supremacist ideology and his stated intention to destroy the state, and – especially with Republicans – MAKE IT PERSONAL. i have like 6 messages in my inbox about how nice it feels to say politely, “Please tell the Senator that if she does not stand against Steve Bannon’s poisonous and destructive agenda, my community and I will ensure that someone else wins her seat in the next election. Thank you.” (it really feels so good, guys.)

Dudes, I called Stephanie Murphy’s office number too and was like, “yeah, I’m totes not a constituent but blessings be upon her house” (not exact quote, not even a little), and the staffer was like, “but where are you calling from? for curiosity/records?” and I was like, “lol Michigan” and she audibly did a doubletake and went, “cool cool cool but have you called your–” and I was like, “GURL I called both senators and my congresswoman first” and she did a SECOND audible doubletake and was like, “well, that’s super cool. thank you for doing a good thing” and i was like, “no YOU” and she was like, “no YOU” and we ended the phone call with mutual good vibes.

In short, I recommend calling this lady and letting her know she’s the bee’s knees and not just because it’s the right thing to do, but apparently they don’t know we appreciate this kind of thing? Let this woman know she’s the cat’s meow. Because she is.

Reblogging again to encourage folks to support this bill, and to contact their own reps this week in addition to thanking Rep Murphy (whose office is staffed by awesome people).

It’s currently got 69 cosponsors, all of whom are Democrats. Let’s get some red in there. Surely we’re not the only ones who care about, oh, national security.
