To: Sen. Ron Johnson (WI-1)

.@RonJohnsonWI: Press McConnell for a Vote on Judge Garland

We demand Senator Ron Johnson press Mitch McConnell for a vote on the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.

Why is this important?

On March 16, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called for Republican Senator Ron Johnson and his fellow Senate Republicans to do their jobs and give President Obama's Supreme Court nominee Judge Merrick Garland a hearing. [1] Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins [2] and Illinois Republican Senator Mark Kirk [3] have called for the Senate to vote.

But so far, Sen. Johnson is siding with Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump rather than with "moderate" Senate Republicans like Susan Collins and Mark Kirk. [4]

Urge Ron Johnson to press McConnell for the Senate to vote on the nomination of Judge Garland by signing our petition.
