I will continue to be an outspoken advocate for action, and my voice will be part of the American chorus calling for your resignation.

You are unwilling to lead on climate change, and cannot be trusted with our nation's natural resources.

Climate Change Is Real and It's Dangerous.

You have disrespected the career staff of the Department by questioning their loyalty and you have played fast and loose with government regulations.
