To: The United States Senate
Senators: Speed up the Presidential appointment process
Senators, we are exasperated by the time you waste on many partisan matters instead of working on confirming Presidential nominations. Within 90 days of receiving a nomination, do your research, conduct your interviews and complete your due diligence and then have a straight up and down on the nominee. We have elected you to do the work of the people, so do it.
Why is this important?
Presidential nominations are yet another source of contentious and unnecessary political partisanship. Many judgeships sit vacant because the Senate will not act. Qualified candidates for all levels of leadership also are becoming targets, rather than being considered for their experience or qualifications. All this costs Americans money, slows government, and discourages talented and competent candidates. This must stop. So please, sign the petition below and show your disgust for this form of paralyzing Washington obstructionism. Tell the Senate, we want action.
