The Principled Heroes are those among Democrats listed here who have, by commonsense, publicly stated their commitment to vote against George Tsunis and, thereby, to do what is best for their constituents of every income-level and background. They value backbone, independence, and dare to stand up for what is right. They understand that upholding their constituents' best interests and abusing taxpayer funds by paying an unqualified multi-millionaire to play diplomat are truly irreconcilable.
The Money-Bound are those among Democrats listed here who have taken money from the bags of cash George Tsunis or his family have thrown at them – but have not, unfortunately, yet understood that their own search for funding and George Tsunis' desire to buy who and what he wants are wholly incompatible with American democracy and their own constituent taxpayers' best interests.
We encourage the senators here to join The Principled Heroes list today by publicly stating in a press release their own commitment to voting against Mr. Tsunis’ nomination as U.S. Ambassador to Norway and, thereby, openly supporting the best interests of their constituents.
The Living-Dangerously are those among Democrats listed here who are most putting the Democratic majority in the senate at risk. In tight election races for their own senate seats these senators are failing to show not only their own constituents, but Republican opponents as well, that they are independent enough to tell their own party leadership and President a few obvious but simple truths – that incompetence among American diplomats is not acceptable, that the same standard of “job qualification” applies to both multi-millionaire ambassador nominees and working-class Americans, that partisan loyalties and the role of money in politics do not trump their own obligations to their own tax-paying constituents’ best interests, and that – despite appearances – neither American democracy nor ambassadorships are up for sale.
We encourage the senators here to join The Principled Heroes list today by publicly stating in a press release their own commitment to voting against Mr. Tsunis’ nomination as U.S. Ambassador to Norway and, thereby, openly supporting the best interests of their constituents.
The Silent are those among Democrats listed here, perhaps the most dangerous here, who seem to have no idea that by their silence they are unwittingly (or uncaringly) taking part in activities that are injuring Americans' faith in our democracy, damaging US interests and perceptions abroad, abusing taxpayer monies by suggesting working-class constituents should handsomely pay an unqualified multi-millionaire to play ambassador in Norway, and, thus, fully going against every single interest of their very own constituents.
