Friend, If we’re going to make sure democracy endures, we have to make sure that democracy delivers. The opponents of self-government — the people who would rather take power than accept compromise — rely on the dysfunction of our government to advance their extreme agenda. The answer is for us, as a movement, to insist on a government that can solve real problems, and deliver real solutions for America. That’s precisely what Renewer, former Governor Christine Todd Whitman, did this week. Working with RAM, she sent a formal letter to all 50 Senate Republicans asking them to end politically motivated holds on nominees to fill key government roles. By some estimates nearly 85% of our most fundamental government appointee positions are currently vacant, and many of those vacancies have a nominee just waiting to get a fair Senate hearing. How can our government help small businesses through economic turmoil, or navigate a public health crisis when key leaders and advisors aren’t in position to do their jobs? We aren’t asking Republicans to vote for every appointee, simply to stop needlessly delaying the votes on these nominees. We can’t let partisan politics break our ability to govern. It’s time to restore sanity and stability to our government, and that starts by getting our elected leaders to put good governance above petty politics. That’s what it means to be a renewer, and that’s what we will always fight for. Renew America Movement
