unanimity

Dear Senator Portman,

Thank you for representing Ohio for these last few years.

I want to congratulate you on leading the effort to coordinate a unanimous vote in the Senate yesterday.
What you proved yesterday is that the Senate can do the right thing, when they have the right leadership.

When I think about the current obstruction of the voting process for the recently nominated Supreme Court justice, I am of the opinion that we just do not yet have the right leadership in place. There are currently 46 Senators who are ready to do the right thing ... that is, their constitutional duty.

Why don't you lead on this issue ... and be the 47th (if being 47th is actually leading) to cross that line and agree to fulfill your constitutional duty ? I am confident that with your leadership track, that number would then quickly grow to 51 and even 60 ... and we can all just get on with doing the right thing.

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 leading in the right direction ?  ... and then please #doyourjob, or do the honorable thing and resign.

Thanks for your consideration,
