Washington, Dec. 23 -- Congresswoman Chellie Pingree issued the following press release:
Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), the top Democrat on the Appropriations Subcommittee that oversees the Kennedy Center, Congressman Rick Larsen (D-Wash.), and Congressman Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) are leading more than 70 of their colleagues in Congress in calling on President Trump to reverse the illegal renaming effort and remove his name from the building immediately. The Kennedy Center is a national cultural institution and living memorial to President John F. Kennedy established by Congress, "and no board vote nor social media post has the legal authority to change the name without an act of Congress," the members wrote.
