Sign the petition: Impeach Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross

Friend, [sign the petition: Impeach Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross]( [Sign the petition]( U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross [ordered mass firings]( at NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration) unless they issued a statement conforming with Donald Trump's fake hurricane claim that Alabama was in the path of Hurricane Dorian. As the New York Times [reported]( on September 9, Ross personally called acting NOAA administrator Neil Jacobs to say "political staff at NOAA would be fired" if they did not "fix" the agency's public contradictions of Trump's claims. What followed was a truly baffling unsigned statement by NOAA that overruled what the National Weather Service had previously said on the matter, and what scientists studying the hurricane had concluded. In other words, a Trump Cabinet Secretary ordered the weathermen to conform weather reports to the president's fragile ego. If Ross does not get impeached over this, what more will Trump and his corrupt administration do to abuse their power? [Sign the petition to Congress: Impeach Wilbur Ross. Immediately.]( [Sign the petition]( As outrageous as this latest episode revealed, it is not the only reason why Ross must go. When he was confirmed as Commerce Secretary in 2017, Wilbur Ross [failed to disclose]( that he had investments in Navigator Holdings, which does close business with Vladimir Putin's family. This is a serious conflict of interest. And when the U.S. Supreme Court [shot down]( the U.S. citizenship question on the 2020 Census forms, they determined that Ross had lied to Congress about the reason why they wanted to add the question—calling it "contrived." In one of the most corrupt administrations in U.S. history, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross must go. We cannot trust him to do his job without doing Donald Trump's dirty work and abusing his power. Congress must start impeachment proceedings immediately.

Wilbur Ross must be impeached. By signing this petition you will receive periodic updates on offers and activism opportunities from Daily Kos. You may unsubscribe at any time.
