Democrats promote second annual March for Science: 'Vote climate change deniers out'

BY JOSH DELK - 04/14/18 04:12 PM EDT

Democrats voiced their support for 2018's "March for Science" on Friday, suggesting thousands gathering at the second annual event vote "climate change deniers" out of office.




While not an explicitly political protest, the March for Science, now in its second year, last year targeted the environmental policies of the Trump administration, including cuts to federal research grants and large-scale deregulation by the EPA.

The march, held in Washington, D.C., on Saturday with satellite events in various other cities, promoted a petition to "send a message to Congress and the White House that you support qualified scientific leadership."

Rump is so out of control and total ignorant I wouldn't put anything past him if he does fire that will be the end of his tenure, or regime.

I have my signs ready and if I am sick it will really suck. He waited this long so maybe he will wait longer. I hope he doesn't do it at all but if he does.....
