An open letter to PA Senator Pat Toomey:
The essence of true leadership is to have the courage to do the right thing legally, morally and ethically for the right reason, at the right time. You’ve announced your retirement from the Senate at the completion of your term in two years and seem to indicate no further plans for elective office.
Now is the time to cement your legacy, either as a true leader eschewing partisan politics or just another obstructionist embracing partisanship. There is no longer any need or reason to fear and pander to the base, the 1%, or “big business.”
