The next Attorney General of the United States could be a right wing extremist with a deplorable record on the rights and freedoms we as Americans cherish.

Congressional Republicans abruptly ended their attempt to gut the independent ethics watchdog tasked with overseeing Congress after receiving a flood of phone calls opposing their scheme. Take a minute right now and call Sens. Nelson and Rubio about Sen. Session's nomination.
