Stand against the illegal firing of two FTC commissioners!

FTC Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter

President Trump fired two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) — an independent agency dedicated to protecting consumers from deceptive and unfair business practices.

This illegal firing attempt highlights a pattern of President Trump acting unilaterally to bring independent agencies under the control of the White House and is a brazen attack on the checks and balances established as the foundation of democracy in the Constitution.

Add your name to show your support for these two FTC commissioners and that you stand against this abuse of power.

Donald Trump’s attempt to illegally fire Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter is yet another example of President Trump acting unilaterally to bring independent agencies under the control of the White House and is a brazen attack on the checks and balances established as the foundation of democracy in the Constitution.

This move must be stopped — the effects on consumers and our democracy could be devastating. We need to stand up against this defiance of our nation’s system of checks and balances. I stand with Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter.
