Republican Senators Want "The People" to Weigh In

in November on the next Supreme Court justice. I say, let's do just that. Let's weigh in heavy on the Republican Senators who are up for re-election and just say no to them. Instead, let's elect Democrats to replace them. Then, along with our newly-elected Democratic President, we can put a progressive judge's butt in Tony Scalia's seat.

Let's weigh in big time.

Of course, we'll all have to go to the polls and bring others with us. We won't be able to stay home and sulk if the candidate we prefer isn't the nominee. But, I expect us to all turn out and help elect a Democratic President anyhow.

Do you have a Republican Senator in your state who is up for re-election? Go vote him out of office and vote the Democrat in. Is your Senate seat going to be open. Again, vote for the Democrat and bring everyone you know with you.

Let's take back the Senate in 2016 and sweep a Democrat into the White House! What do you say? Shall we do that?

Whether or not they confirm Obama's appointment. It's time to come together and take the Senate back, along with electing a Democratic President. We can do that, if we want to. I say that we should simply do it and never look back.
