The following is a copy of the letters that I have sent to my senators, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, concerning relevant issues concerning action by the Senate with respect to the nomination and confirmation of the next Justice to replace Justice Scalia. Please share on your own Twitter and Facebook pages so that others may also be encouraged to demand like action of their own senators in the aftermath of this tragedy. You can copy and paste the following in your comment section and the wordpress link will take them to my letter.

Re: Death of Justice Antonin Scalia, SCOTUS
Dear Sen. Cornyn,
The death of Justice Scalia is one of the great tragedies that has befallen the United States in recent history. A far greater tragedy would be if President Barack Obama was able to pick the replacement for this magnificent legal mind on the Court! I agree with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that the American people, through the selection of the next president, should have a voice in who will sit in the hallowed seat of Justice Scalia. Please stand fast and protect the nature and constitution of the Court that it might properly in the future remain itself subordinate to the Law of the Land, the U.S. Constitution–as written. You must remain faithful if the Constitution and the Court are to be preserved. Nothing else is of greater importance to our nation at this time in our history.
Stand strong!
