Ted Johnson is listed in critical condition after undergoing surgery to repair bleeding in his brain, it remains unclear if the Democratic Senator from South Dakota will be returning to work anytime soon. If he is unable to serve, the Republican Governor will appoint a replacement. If he appoints a Republican I propose that everyone, from all over the country, travels to the South Dakota Governor’s office and protests. A Republican appointment would shift the balance of power away from the Dems in Washington. The people elected a Democratic Senator, why should the government be allowed to appoint a Republican. I think we have a duty to shake the cage if this tragedy occurs.
We are wishing you a speedy recovery Senator Johnson.
