Ambassador Susan Rice: Keep Fighting to be Secretary of State

Ambassador Susan Rice is the most qualified candidate for Secretary of State. But Republicans have threatened a lengthy and disruptive confirmation process. Republican leaders like John McCain have gone so far as saying she's "not very bright" -- despite that she has an accomplished career and is a Rhodes Scholar. Rice is the second youngest and first African American woman to represent the U.S. at the UN.

Susan Rice: We need you as Secretary of State. Keep fighting for the nomination. Don't let Republicans win their racist, sexist political games.

Why is this important?

Ambassador Susan Rice is the most qualified candidate for Secretary of State. But Republicans are obstructing her nomination, and now she has removed herself for consideration. We need a talented diplomat like Rice to stay in the fight to become the next Secretary of State.
