The Democratic Party
-----------------------
John --
 
The White House just announced that President Obama is nominating 
Merrick B. Garland to become our next Supreme Court justice:

A native of Chicago, Merrick Garland has been a judge for the United 
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since 1997, 
serving as Chief Judge since 2013. With two decades of federal court 
experience, Garland is fully prepared for all of the responsibilities he 
will face as our next Supreme Court justice -- no matter how Senate 
Republicans try to spin it.
 
Frankly, I've grown a little sick of Republicans in Congress and their 
antics that have ranged from simply unproductive to downright offensive. 
Over the course of President Obama's seven years in office, the GOP 
has used our Congress as its own stage for public temper tantrums and 
meltdowns, habitually standing in the way of progress instead of doing 
their jobs and helping our country move forward.
 
This is not leadership, John. This is obstruction. It's a vendetta against 
President Obama's presidency, plain and simple, and we just cannot 
afford to let the Republican Party hold a fully-functioning government 
hostage with their political games -- especially at the expense of the 
Supreme Court.
 
So add your name to send Senate Republicans the message that it's 
time for them to do their jobs and confirm Judge Garland:
