There is a new petition No National Security Briefing for Donald Trump on "We the People" at WhiteHouse.gov. If it gets 100,000 signatures, the government must respond.
It has been a tradition for an Administration to provide both major party nominees a national security briefing. It is only a tradition. It is not a legal requirement.
This is the petition:
"No National Security Briefing for Donald Trump
Donald Trump is unqualified and unhinged. Providing him with national security information will pose a clear-and-present danger to the American people. He cares about nothing but himself.
He will abuse the information for his own benefit. And, he will try to find ways he can profit from it financially.
There is no law or regulation compelling the Administration to provide national security information to presidential nominees. It is only a tradition. The Administration must not follow tradition blindly."
You can view and sign the petition here.
Please sign immediately and pass it along. If Trump gets the nomination next week, the process for providing the traditional briefing will begin. We have to nip it in the bud.
The petition says it all. Trump is unqualified to process the information, and unhinged. He will abuse it in any way he can. We cannot just blindly follow tradition.
If Trump wins the presidency, he will get secret information. That frightening prospect will be the will of the American people, not the decision of an Administration.
No National Security Briefing for Donald Trump. Please go to the petition and sign.
