Thursday, March 2, Call to Action

This is any easy one this morning, folks! Last night the news dropped that AG Sessions lied in his testimony before the Senate confirmation committee. In his confirmation hearing, Sessions testified that he had NO contact with Russian officials, and he testified that he could be impartial in an investigation into 45's ties to Russia. As of last night, we learned that Sessions met TWICE with the Russian ambassador. The original story was dropped by the New York Times. The article is linked below.

Given this new information, we need to push Cornyn, Cruz, and Conaway to back the call for a special prosecutor to look into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Given that Sessions clearly is involved in these cover-ups, he cannot be relied on to be impartial.
