Withdraw Bob McDonald's nomination for Secretary of Veterans Affairs

Created by D.H. on July 23, 2014

Mr. President,

Mr. Bob McDonald (nominee for Secretary of Veterans Affairs) commented on July 22, 2014 in a Senate confirmation hearing that he will bring "corporate style discipline" to the VA. As his comments indicate a dedication to the status quo of the VA, we do hereby petition you to withdraw his nomination. We further petition you to nominate a candidate for the position whose only concern is the welfare of veterans, and who lacks any concern about the bottom line, separation bonuses, nepotism, harming the well-being of the people the institution is supposed to serve, and any of the other agendas a dedication to "corporate style discipline" insinuates. Corporations are not people, my friend, they have no business running any aspect of government which is of the people.
