To: President Donald Trump and The United States Senate
Draft Susan Rice
Susan Rice is a Public Servant of exemplary talent, intellect and integrity.This petition asks Ambassador Rice to reconsider her withdrawal from consideration as US Secretary of State, and that the White House put their full weight behind confirming her as our next Secretary of State. Ambassador Rice and President Obama: Please stand up to to the bullies who would put political advantage ahead of the security and stature of the United States of America on the world stage.
Why is this important?
America agrees that bullying is not acceptable on the school yard. Let's extend that to the Senate and the Cabinet Member confirmation process. Ambassador Rice had nothing to do with the attack in Benghazi. The withdrawal of her name for consideration as Secretary of State is the direct result of Republican bullying aimed at getting John Kerry to vacate his Senate seat to serve in Ambassador Rice's stead. Though Senator Kerry would be a brilliant Secretary of State, let's ensure that we have the right people in the best positions to help the USA navigate these perilous times. It's time to break the power of bullies, both here and abroad.
