WTF? Menendez Puts Hold on Holdren

What the hell is up with Senator Robert Menendez!

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) has placed a “hold” that blocks votes on confirming Harvard University physicist John Holdren, who is in line to lead the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Oregon State University marine biologist Jane Lubchenco, Obama’s nominee to head the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. According to sources who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the matter, Menendez is using the holds as leverage to get Senate leaders’ attention for a matter related to Cuba rather than questioning the nominees’ credentials.

That’s the way to support your President and your country

    As soon as you see an action item, such as a petition to move this process along, and blast Menendez, please let us know. Maybe the new group Accountability Now or MoveOn have something happening.

Words for Acts

Peace awakens, finds her breath.
Sighs, and must remember death.
Beloved peace, be tender now;
Teach to us, your children, how
Gently to renew the life
That we have silenced with our strife.

Allen Ginsberg
