Dear Senator Portman,
Thank you for representing Ohio for these last few years.
We are all shocked and saddened by the attacks that occurred yesterday in Brussels. Once again, we are reminded of the fragility of our existence and the brutality of those who want to attack western cultures. The attacks also remind us of the potential brevity of our lives, and the uncertainty of any future that we might envision.
Tomorrow and the days ahead will all be filled with unanticipated events, for which we will need our full resources to be able to react with urgency, and with well-informed decisions. Let's not degrade our energies on minor political skirmishes in such a way that it limits our ability to react to the more significant challenges ahead. The brevity of our lives and the uncertainty of the future implore us to be efficient, and timely, and purposeful with the tasks before us. Let's not let partisan politics stand in the way of efficient government for the things that we know how to do, that we know need to be done. There is no value to be gained, but perhaps significant opportunity to be lost, in waiting 18 months to do what we know can be done in one month.
Please re-read Article II, Sec 2 of the Constitution, and recall the oath to which you pledged in January of this year, to assess whether your current position is sufficiently reflective of working with urgency and purpose and respecting the uncertainty of the future ... and then please #doyourjob, or do the honorable thing and resign.
Thanks for your consideration,
