Trying times are still ahead for America and if any positive work is to be accomplished, we must all work together regardless of party affiliation.
Bipartisan cooperation would be easier to achieve with a bipartisan administration and cabinet.
Appointing a high profile Republican, such as Mitt Romney, to such a key cabinet position would go a long way in assuaging fears of single party dominance and promoting cooperation in Congress.
As was seen during the 2012 presidential debates, Mitt Romney and Pres. Obama agree on many key issues, meaning Romney would not be completely incompatible with the rest of Pres. Obama's cabinet.
We, the undersigned, make this recommendation to Pres. Obama in a spirit of good will and with the hope of peace between those of different political ideologies.
